Lot 4111
1892-S Morgan Dollar. Sharpness of MS-63 Prooflike. Light golden toning on both sides. Small pin scratch across Liberty's neck, which must be weighed in the bidding because this is such an important issue, but more than compensated by the choice surfaces elsewhere. Well struck and nice, flashes of mirror surface throughout. Some light hairlines visable. The 1892-S is one of the dates in the Morgan dollar series that separates the men from the boys, making bidding on one an sobering experience. Despite a fair number made (original mintage of 1.2 million pieces), this year is missing in Uncirculated condition in most of America's silver dollar collections. And there does not appear to have been a time when Mint States weren't rare. No 1892-S dollars surfaced in the 1960s when the Treasury Department released millions of silver dollars at face value. It may be that most were destroyed at the end of World War I under the terms of the Pittman Act. This attractive Mint State awaits your bid. With considerable fervor, bidding should take it right on up to a strong price realized, with the end bidder congratulating himself n his astuteness.
Estimated Value $18,000 - 20,000.
