Lot Description

Exceptional Superb Proof 1900 Morgan Dollar 1900 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-67 Cameo (PCGS). CAC. Beautiful silver white surfaces are untoned to allow ready appreciation of bold field to device contrast. Fully struck with razor sharp design elements, this expertly preserved Superb Gem ranks among the finest certified survivors of this late date Proof Morgan dollar issue. At 912 coins struck, the 1900 boasts the second highest mintage in the Proof Morgan dollar series after the 1894 (972 pieces produced). The Mint was likely anticipating heightened Proof sales to contemporary collectors in connection with the turn of the century. While survivors of the Proof 1900 are readily obtainable in an absolute sense by the standards of the type, most are confined to lower grades through Proof-64. At the present level this issue is a notable rarity. PCGS Population: just 4; with a single Proof-67+ Cameo finer in this category. PCGS# 87335. NGC ID: 27ZY.
