Lot Description

Superb Proof 1898 Morgan Dollar Richly Toned 1898 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-68 (NGC). Deep and attractive blue-rose toning appears to be deep umber-gray until examined under a light source. A flashy bright silver area is found at the end of the band on Liberty's cap. The reflective fields are near-perfectly preserved. The toning on the reverse matches, but it is more centered with a lighter area right over the eagle's breast that gives way to surrounding rose-gold fields with deeper blue and russet toward the rim. From a mintage of 735 Proofs, this is clearly one of the finest to survive. NGC Census: 8; 1 finer in this category (Proof-69). PCGS# 7333. NGC ID: 27ZW. Click here for certification details from NGC.
