Description du lot

This lustrous and satin to softly frosted Gem is fully untoned with a bright, fresh, brilliant-white appearance. It is also boldly to sharply struck overall and boasts uncommonly smooth surfaces for this conditionally challenged issue.<p>The 1902-S is one of the scarcer San Francisco Mint entries in the Morgan dollar series, many of the 1,530,000 coins produced likely melted pursuant to the terms of the 1918 Pittman Act. Even so, thousands of Mint State examples came to light through government distributions from the 1920s through the early 1950s. Obtainable with relative ease in lower Uncirculated grades, if still scarce by the standards of the type, the 1902-S remains a formidable condition rarity as an upper end Gem.
