Lot 1424
1888 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 64. This is the very rare double date, as mentioned in Breen's Encyclopedia and Proof reference works. The date was first engraved a bit to the left, then corrected, and clear doubling is present on the 1 and first 8. Hazy gold toning on both sides and very clean for the grade. Free of spots or problem toning. Rare in this grade as a date, and much more expensive any nicer.
Estimated Value $1,500 - 1,700.
From the Benson collection and purchased from B. Max Mehl on July 9, 1945 for $7.50.
