Losbeschreibung

Serene surfaces are intensely lustrous and untoned apart from subtle champagne-gold highlights at the borders. A century ago this coin would have been counted as one of the most fantastic Morgan dollars in existence. For decades the 1903-O was known only in circulated grades with but few exceptions. A VF-20 coin 70 years ago was considered a remarkable example of the date. Then, in the early 1960s, the Treasury hoard revealed a few bags of Mint State 1903-O Morgans and the rush was on. Those poor collectors who found themselves with circulated examples of the date worth up to $1,500 in the <em>Guide Book</em> now owned a relatively "common" coin in only average condition. While such are the changing fortunes in numismatics, current third-party certification data confirms that the 1903-O remains a formidable rarity in premium Superb Gem Mint State. This is one of the finest seen by PCGS and would do justice to any advanced Morgan dollar set.
