Lot Description

A captivating Superb Gem with strong satin luster on the devices and appreciable semi-reflectivity in the fields. This lovely complexion is enhanced by delicate golden iridescence that appears to drift toward the borders. Nicely struck for the issue and free of even the most trivial imperfections. Neither PCGS nor CAC has seen a 1902-O Morgan dollar that is finer than this, making it a true prize for an advanced specialist.<p>Due to the emergence of hundreds of thousands of coins from the Philadelphia Mint during the period of several months beginning in October 1962, the 1902-O is a plentiful Morgan dollar issue in lower Mint State grades. However, the 1902-O is challenging to acquire in Gem grades and becomes very rare at the Superb level. The present PCGS/CAC MS-67+ offers unbeatable quality for the issue and would serve as a highlight in any silver dollar or New Orleans Mint cabinet.
