1903 Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded Proof 65. Childs. A beautiful, mostly brilliant example of this scarce, late-date Morgan Proof. Mirror fields are deep on both sides; the reverse showing the eagle moderately frosted against a white background, while the obverse displays a pale grayish iridescence atop similar deeply mirrored fields. Liberty's portrait is gleaming, rather than frosted, a characteristic of this period of silver dollar Proofs. Not many 1903 Proofs are in this exalted quality league!
