Lot Description

1897 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-66 (NGC). Brilliant and untoned surfaces allow ready appreciation of a modestly cameoed finish. Fully struck, expertly preserved, and a delight to behold. The 1897 is from an era in which the United States Mint produced many of the finest-looking Proofs in the Morgan silver dollar series. Along with those of the 1896 and 1898 issues, the typical Proof 1897 dollar is fully struck with good field to device contrast, as here. Many such coins are expertly preserved, causing this issue to often be selected to represent America's favorite silver dollar in high grade Proof type sets. A highlight of the Proof Morgan dollar offerings in this sale. NGC Census: 24; 19 finer in this category (Proof-68 * finest). PCGS# 7332. NGC ID: 27ZV. Click here for certification details from NGC.
