Lot Description

1903 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-55 (PCGS). One of the most intriguing Morgan dollars that we have offered in recent sales, for this is an unusual grade for a Proof struck expressly for distribution to contemporary collectors. Here we have a coin that shows little to support a theory for light commercial use, as there is hardly any wear and no sizeable marks. Instead we see trivial rub and faint hairlines that point to minor numismatic mishandling. Handsomely toned in dominant pearl-gray with outlines of rich olive iridescence to the design elements, direct lighting calls forth vivid undertones of blue, lilac and pinkish-apricot. Impressively smooth in hand with sharp detail throughout, this is a more affordable type candidate from the later Proof Morgan Dollar series. Mintage: 755 specimens for collectors. PCGS# 7338.
