Lot 1838
1895 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 63. A Choice Proof example with uniform medium toning on both sides. A trivial amount of faint hairlines. Inspection reveals a superlative Proof in all respects, one positioned nicely within its choice grade specification. The luster is never-ending as the mirrored surface swirls serenely over both sides; the lightly toned highlights vie with each other for dominance, while the devices are essentially as sharp as you will ever find for the key 1895 date. Regarding this date, the clearest details are found throughout the peripheral areas but also encompassing the key centers which are crystal clear as noted in Liberty's hair waves, the back of the cap, and in all the elements of the wreath of cereals "crown" she wears. Once its rarity was understood by collectors, only after the close of the second World War, the Proof 1895 has come to be regarded as the "King of the Morgan Dollars." (PCGS # 7330) .
Estimated Value $34,000 - 38,000.
