Description du lot

1895-S Redfield Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-63 (NGC). This charming example is intensely lustrous with an untoned reverse and an obverse ringed in warm sandy-gold peripheral toning. Sharply struck throughout with uncommonly smooth surfaces for an 1895-S, which is one of the more conditionally challenging issues in the Morgan dollar series. Surely among the finest survivors from a nearly complete 1,000-coin bag of 1895-S dollars discovered as part of the Redfield estate, the vast majority of which are heavily abraded and/or damaged from a coin counting machine. A rare bidding opportunity for the advanced specialist. Housed in a red Paramount Redfield Collection holder with the grade listed as Mint State 65. Provenance: From the Barnett Collection. NGC Census (Redfield holder only): just three in this category of which we are aware: MS-62+, MS-63 and MS-64. PCGS# 7238. Click here for certification details from NGC.
