Description du lot

Simply put, this is one of the most attractively toned and undeniably original Proof 1883 Morgan dollars that we have ever had the privilege of bringing to auction. Iridescent antique copper patina yields to lighter pinkish-silver in the centers, toning that allows ready appreciation of more vivid undertones of cobalt blue, salmon-pink and champagne-apricot in a strong light source. The obverse, in particular, offers particularly pronounced target-like distribution to the toning that is a real treat for the viewer. A full strike, boldly cameo finish and exceptionally smooth surfaces enhance the desirability of this lovely specimen.<p>The Philadelphia Mint produced 1,039 Proof silver dollars in 1883 and the typical survivor in today's market grades no finer than Proof-64. Premium quality Gems such as this are rare and always in demand, especially when they also possess the cameo finish and beautiful toning that define this piece. The strongest bids are clearly in order here.
