Lot Description

This premium Gem Proof 1898 dollar will be an excellent addition to a high grade specimen type or date collection. Light iridescent toning and deep mirror fields make this a showpiece that will attract the attention of even the most discerning numismatist. Along with the 1896 and 1897, the 1898 is one of the most consistently well produced and attractive Proofs in the Morgan silver dollar series. A total of only 735 such Proofs were struck, the vast majority of which are either lost, impaired, or rendered clearly inferior to the presently offered coin. This piece is among the finer certified survivors. For the advanced collector pursuing desirable representatives of the Morgan series or 19th century U.S. Mint type coinage, our offering of this piece is an important opportunity.
