Description du lot

1893-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-62+ (PCGS). CAC. A brilliant and sharply struck silver dollar with intense mint luster in a frosty to modestly semi-prooflike finish. At just 300,000 coins struck the 1893-O is the lowest mintage New Orleans Mint Morgan dollar. By the late 1950s, in fact, the scarcity of the 1893-O in Mint State was already established, a conclusion that was reinforced by the absence of this issue in the Treasury Department releases of 1962 to 1964. Poorly produced and preserved, as an issue, the collector who is fortunate enough to locate an Uncirculated example in today's market is apt to be viewing an aesthetically unappealing coin in the MS-60 to MS-63 range. With superior striking quality and strong eye appeal, one would be hard pressed to find a more desirable Mint State example of this challenging issue. Provenance: From the Bimyway Collection. PCGS# 7224. NGC ID: 255T. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
