Lot 634 Click on photo for enlarged version Click on photo for enlarged version
1883-S. PCGS graded MS-64 Premium Quality. Truly an impressive Morgan dollar that boasts rich green, blue and gold toning on both sides over frosty luster. The strike is sharp and the surfaces are very nice for the grade. We note this one has been housed in a coin album for many years when it came to us recently for auction. PCGS has graded 231 this high, but importantly only 15 higher! Don't expect a better one unless you have an awful lot of money to spend.
Estimated Value $2,500-UP.

Another gem for the color specialist.
Estimated Value $1,500-2,000.
