Losbeschreibung

1889 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-64 (PCGS). Vivid undertones of cobalt blue, salmon-pink and pale gold give way to warmer steel-olive, pewter-gray and smoky-silver toning as the surfaces turn away from direct lighting. A sharply struck specimen with the lively mint finish readily appreciable. The Philadelphia Mint's output of Proof silver dollars in 1889 amounted to 811 coins. Writing in The Morgan and Peace Dollar Textbook, Wayne Miller states: "Although some 1889 proof dollars evidence the flat strike just described [for the preceding issue], this problem is not as prevalent as with the 1888 proof. Nevertheless, it is very frustrating to examine a proof which would otherwise be a full gem coin except for the lack of high-point detail." The winning bidder of this lot will be free of that frustration and secure in the knowledge that they have acquired one of the better produced examples of the issue obtainable to today's collectors.
