Lot 1856
1901 Morgan Dollar. NGC graded Proof 68. Old holder. Nice original toning on both sides. Only 813 Proofs made. A fresh and original, superb example of this popular date. This piece has obviously been well preserved since the day of its manufacture; it's up to future collectors to preserve it for future generations. Apart from the astounding quality of this piece, we must address the significance of this coin in relation to other known examples. Out of the original mintage, perhaps 200 have been examined by NGC. Of those examined, only two other examples have earned the Proof 68 designation from NGC. None have been graded higher. Regardless of your preference for the different grading services, the general consensus is that this remarkable coin is easily one of the finest known.
The coin is virtually perfect from a technical point of view. Both sides exhibit nice toning, deeply mirrored fields, and offer satiny devices, though this last aspect is not a part of the NGC grade. The element of contrast is particularly desirable on the issues of 1901-04. All in all a sleek, superlative Gem Proof for the connoisseur of Morgan Silver Dollars.
Pop 3; none finer at NGC (PCGS # 7336) .
Estimated Value $25,000 - 30,000.
