Lot 1888
1894 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS-64. A well struck example of the low mintage date. A hint of light golden toning around the edges. Morgan dollar production continued its rapid decline at the Philadelphia Mint through 1894, when only 110,000 business strikes emerged from the presses this year. Although several bags of 1894 dollars were released from federal holding in the 1950s and 1960s, this issue's mintage ceiling guarantees its status as the rarest Philadelphia mint Morgan dollar in Mint State after the 1901. The strike on the obverse of this handsome Mint State 64 is above average, yet not bold, while the reverse is considerably sharper over the eagle's breast feathers. Both sides are fully satiny with a modest glow in the fields. Pop 166; 17 in 65; 3 in 66. (PCGS # 7228) .
Estimated Value $9,000 - 10,000.
