Lot Description

Enchanting frosty white surfaces are free of grade-limiting marks. Overall pristine, in fact, and also possessed of an impressively full strike from the dies. Most areas are brilliant, but we do note enhancing blushes of iridescent toning in isolated peripheral areas. Thanks to the release of large numbers of Mint State examples in the 1950s and early 1960s, the 1896 ranks as one of the more plentiful circulation strike Morgan dollars in today's market. Even so, the coin offered here is quite special with its combination of virtually pristine surfaces and strong eye appeal. A find for the high grade type collector or advanced Morgan dollar enthusiast.
