Lot Description

Superb Proof 1898 Morgan Dollar 1898 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-68 (NGC). Deep and attractive blue-rose toning appears to be deep umber-gray until examined under a light source. A flashy silver-bright area is found above and right of Liberty's hair. The reflective fields are virtually perfectly preserved. The toning on the reverse matches, but it is more centered with a lighter area right over the eagle's breast into the surrounding rose-gold fields with deeper blue and russet to the rim. From a mintage of 735 pieces, this is clearly one of the finest to survive in the Proof category. PCGS# 7383. NGC Census; 8; 1 finer (Proof-69 finest) within the Proof designation.
