Lot 1756
1901-S. PCGS graded MS-65. A nice white coin. This is indeed a sparkling silver specimen radiating mint bloom, powerfully struck and impeccably preserved. Unlike some which may not be quite fully struck, this marvel of precision minting shows all regions crisply detailed including the centers. The 1901-S commences a shift to conditionally difficult S-mint Morgan dates that ends in 1904. Nothing like the 1903-S and 1904-S, however, the '01-S is affordable and readily obtainable in the typical Mint State grades. It sounds as if enough of these coins were released from federal vaults in the early 20th century to satisfy average buyers. When it comes to attractive, minimally bagmarked examples of this issue, though, these have always been rare, and the present Gem shares the MS65 grade with a not overly large group of others graded by PCGS. Pop 226; 28 finer, 27 in 66, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 7276) .
Estimated Value $2,100 - 2,200.
