Lot # Description Grade Hammer Price 5300 1878 7 Tailfeathers, 2nd Reverse. MS-65 (NGC) (see below) $750.00 Brilliant, lustrous, and fairly well struck. A hint of golden toning. 5301 1878 Doubled Tailfeathers. MS-65 (NGC) (see below) $1,600.00 Fairly well struck, highly lustrous, and brilliant, this piece is among the top few dozen certified by NGC—not a small number to be sure, but actually relatively small in terms of the tremendous demand for Morgan silver dollars. The dollars of 1878 make an interesting study in themselves, a specialty that has been taken up by quite a few numismatists over the years. This particular variety...  more 5302 1878-CC MS-65 (PCGS) (see below) $1,600.00 Well struck, brilliant, and with satiny lustre. A splendid example of the first Morgan dollar and, of course, the first Carson City dollar of the design. 5303 1878-S MS-66 (NGC) (see below) $540.00 Brilliant, well struck, and attractive. Enough prooflike surface on both sides to be called PL or even DPL. The interpretation of such nomenclature varies widely in the field, with over description being the rule. However, the present seems to be underdescribed, or at the very least PL could be mentioned—as even a quick glance will verify. 5304 1878-S MS-66 (NGC) (see below) $500.00 A nicely struck specimen with gorgeous lustre on both sides, an ideal representation of the date, mint, and variety. 5305 1879 MS-65 (PCGS) (see below) $650.00 Rich iridescent toning characterizes both sides, blending magenta and brown at the centers, giving way to electric blue and gold at the rims. 5306 1879-CC MS-64 (PCGS) (see below) $7,200.00 A lovely specimen of the variety with "normal" mintmark. Choice Mint State and very attractive. Handling marks are here and there, most notably in the field above the head of Miss Liberty, but are about par for a coin classified as MS-64. As is so often the case the reverse of this Morgan dollar could be graded MS-65 without fear of contradiction.Among Carson City dollars of the early...  more 5307 1880-CC 3rd Reverse. MS-66 (PCGS) (see below) $3,600.00 Brilliant with satiny lustre. Light golden toning on both sides. 5308 1880-S MS-68 (NGC) (see below) $2,600.00 Well struck, brilliant, and lustrous, this is a splendid example of the date and mint. The surfaces are somewhat prooflike on both sides, but not enough that there is a designation on the holder. 5309 1881-CC MS-67 (NGC) (see below) $3,800.00 Brilliant with satiny lustre. Above average striking sharpness. A dandy example of the 1881-CC dollar, significantly finer than typically encountered. 5310 1881-CC MS-66 (NGC) (see below) $900.00 A nice specimen with excellent details, satiny lustre, and an overall beauty. Delicate toning. Just right for the grade assigned. 5311 1882-O MS-64 (NGC) (see below) $150.00 Brilliant, lustrous, attractive, and inexpensive. 5312 1882-O O/S MS-62 (NGC) (see below) $350.00 Brilliant with satiny lustre. Some marks are noticeable on the cheek of Miss Liberty and no doubt directed the grade assigned. The all important overmintmark feature is boldly seen under magnification. 5313 1884-O MS-66 (NGC) (see below) $290.00 Brilliant, above average in strike, lustrous, and attractive. 5314 1885 MS-67 (NGC) (see below) $1,100.00 Well struck and with satiny lustre. Brilliant. A particularly high quality example of this otherwise plentiful Philadelphia Mint Morgan dollar issue. 5315 1885 MS-66 (NGC) (see below) $280.00 Sharply struck and very lustrous, an above average example of the otherwise plentiful 1885 date. The reverse has a splash of rainbow toning near the right border, adding value for some bidders. 5316 1885-CC MS-63 (ANACS) (see below) $510.00 Well struck and with nice lustre, an ideal example of the 1885-CC at the MS-63 grade. Some marks on the chin of Miss Liberty keep it from being, say, MS-65. Otherwise it is significantly nicer than usually seen. 5317 1885-S MS-65 (NGC) (see below) $1,375.00 Brilliant with satiny lustre. Light champagne toning. About typical strike. 5318 1885-S MS-64 (PCGS) (see below) $420.00 Brilliant and lustrous. Somewhat prooflike on the obverse. A nice example of this popular date. 5319 1886-S MS-64 (PCGS) (see below) $460.00 Brilliant, lustrous, and somewhat prooflike, especially on the obverse. MS-64 represents a highly collectible grade objective for Morgan dollars of this era—high enough to yield nice quality coins, low enough to be available for moderate prices. 5320 1887-O MS-65 (NGC) (see below) $2,000.00 Brilliant, lustrous, and nicely struck. Just right for anyone assembling a top notch set of dollars combining high grade and nice eye appeal. 5321 1887-S MS-64 (NGC) (see below) $480.00 Splashes of gold, blue, and magenta toning are seen over well struck, lustrous surfaces. 5322 1888 MS-66 (NGC) (see below) $500.00 Brilliant with smooth, satiny lustre. Some attractive splashes of iridescence surround the reverse rim. Decent strike. 5323 1889-O MS-64 (PCGS) (see below) $480.00 Brilliant and lustrous. Some light striking at the center as to be expected for 1889-O. 5324 1889-O MS-63 (PCGS) (see below) $475.00 Lustrous surfaces with splashes of gold around the rims. About typical strike. 5325 1889-S MS-66 (PCGS) (see below) $3,200.00 Attractive light iridescent toning over rich satiny lustre. A higher than normally encountered grade for this popular San Francisco variety. 5326 1889-S MS-66 (NGC) (see below) $3,200.00 Well struck, brilliant with satiny lustre, and with superb eye appeal—a coin for the anyone who is very particular about quality! 5327 1889-S MS-65 (NGC) (see below) $1,275.00 Brilliant and lustrous. Somewhat prooflike on both sides. A nice example at this level, one of the top couple hundred, more or less, reviewed by NGC. This is not a large number when the field of interest of Morgan dollars—involving hundreds of thousands of people—is considered. 5328 1890-CC MS-63 (PCGS) (see below) $700.00 Brilliant with a hint of light golden toning. Well struck. An affordable example of this somewhat scarce Carson City dollar. 5329 1890-S MS-65 (PCGS) (see below) $550.00 Sharply struck and lustrous. Brilliant on the obverse and with delicately blended iridescent toning on the reverse. A very nice coin overall. Page 1 of 2  •  First  Previous  Next  Last  • Goto Page
