Lot 1724
1895-S. PCGS graded MS-64. Well struck and mostly white. Scarcer date and always in demand. Odd as it may seem, many of the few choice-quality 1895-S Morgans extant display a semi reflective to Prooflike finish. Of course, Gem Silver Dollars of this issue are exceedingly expensive, and rare in an absolute sense. The present MS64 example easily qualifying as among the more attractive from this year and mint. From an original production of just 400,000 pieces comes this gleaming, captivating piece whose surfaces include satiny devices. Boldly, if not quite razor-sharp over all elements of the design, the coin seems to have attracted fewer than normal blemishes and bagmarks, which improves its report card. A coin that would be difficult to improve upon in terms of eye appeal and technical choiceness in a survivor of this avowedly difficult S-mint date. Pop 403; 58 finer (PCGS # 7238) .
Estimated Value $5,000 - 5,500.
