Lot Description

Incredible Gem Proof 1894 Morgan The Garrett-Blue Moon Specimen 1894 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-66 (PCGS). Offered is a fully struck, wonderfully original Morgan dollar toned in apricot-gray patina that is lighter and more iridescent on the obverse. That side retains greater intensity to the Proof finish, although direct lighting also reveals a well mirrored field on the reverse. Vivid undertones of blue, pink and orange add to the eye appeal. Examples from this 972-piece Proof mintage are seldom offered with the overall pristine, premium Gem quality offered here. Provenance: Fom our (Stack's) sale of the John Work Garrett Collection for The Johns Hopkins University, March 1976, part of lot 319; our sale of the Blue Moon Collection, Part I, March 2017, lot 2184. PCGS# 7329. NGC ID: 2577. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
