Losbeschreibung

Phenomenal Ultra Gem Proof 1881 Morgan Dollar 1881 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-68 (PCGS). CAC. A coin that really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. The surfaces are wonderfully original in preservation, the obverse with a partial crescent of antique copper peripheral toning that gives way to smoky-silver and apricot-gray patina elsewhere. The reverse is superficially similar in appearance, although the peripheral color is confined to the left half of the coin and the two latter colors are less extensive. Indeed, both sides retain areas of brilliance, and both also reveal remarkably vivid cobalt blue and reddish-apricot undertones as the coin dips into a light. The strike is full, the finish brightly reflective, and the surfaces are so smooth that the coin borders on pristine. From a mintage of 984 Proofs for the fourth year of Morgan dollar production, and easily among the finest and most aesthetically pleasing survivors available to today's discerning collectors. As the finest seen by CAC in the non-Cameo category, interested parties should expect fierce competition from other bidders for this offering and are urged to prepare an aggressive bidding strategy. This coin is from an original, matched, fresh to market 1881 Proof Set, and the other coins from the set can be found elsewhere in this sale. PCGS Population: just 2; 0 finer in this category.
