1891-CC VAM-3. MS-64 * (NGC)
|
(see below) |
$2,400.00
|
A lovely specimen, vividly iridescent on the reverse and brilliant on the obverse, of VAM-3, the so-called "spitting eagle," with a raised die area below the eagle's beak. One of the more popular Morgan dollar issues for the specialist. |

1891-CC VAM-3. Spitting Eagle. MS-61 (NGC)
|
(see below) |
$288.00
|
Brilliant with satiny lustre. A tiny die flaw is seen opposite the eagle's beak, giving the Spitting Eagle designation, perhaps a stretch, but such names are eagerly accepted and contribute to the great popularity of the variety. |
|
|

1892-CC MS-65 (NGC)
|
(see below) |
$550.00
|
Satiny surfaces, remarkable in their smoothness, accent the portrait, eagle, and other devices, on this lovely 1892-CC dollar. Both sides are brilliant, each with some splashes of light wine red around the borders. Fairly scarce at this level and with this degree of eye appeal, in proportion to the great demand for the variety. |

1892-O MS-65 (NGC)
|
(see below) |
$3,500.00
|
A splendid specimen, light silver, with rich lustre. Somewhat lightly struck at the centers, typical for the 1892-O, and with some planchet lines at the center (from the draw bench in the planchet strip manufacturing process). |
|
|
| 5334 |
1893 MS-66 (NGC)
|
(see below) |
$16,000.00
|
Light silver surfaces, somewhat prooflike on the reverse. Some light striking at the center of the obverse. Very few marks in the field, and those on the eagle mostly concealed. A fairly complex piece from a technical viewpoint, and one that beckons to be examined during the lot viewing process. A very notable feature is that this is at the top of the NGC grading pyramid. |

1894 AU-55 (PCGS)
|
(see below) |
$2,600.00
|
Largely lustrous and devoid of marks of consequence, a decidedly choice representative example of the date and grade. One of just 110,000 silver dollars struck for general circulation in 1894 at the Philadelphia Mint, the lowest production figure in the series behind just the 1893-S rarity (100,000 struck), and the Proof-only 1895 issue (880 reportedly struck). As pleasing an AU-55 Morgan dollar... more |

1895-O AU-58 (NGC)
|
(see below) |
$2,700.00
|
A highly lustrous specimen with satiny surfaces and a pale golden halo at the peripheries. The reverse is somewhat prooflike in appearance, which adds to the overall visual appeal. A few faint marks are noted, none of them overly serious or recently imparted. From a mintage for the date of just 1,450 pieces, the bulk of which saw usage in circulation. A pleasing example of a popular... more |

1896 Proof-67 Cameo (NGC)
|
(see below) |
$9,500.00
|
Brilliant and beautiful, mirrorlike with champagne toning. Frosted fields. Well struck (not all are). A dandy example of what a superb gem coin should look like (not all do). |
|
|
| 5338 |
1897-O AU-58 (ANACS)
|
(see below) |
$300.00
|
Medium lilac and brown toning over surfaces that retain much lustre. |
|
|
| 5339 |
1902-S MS-63 (PCGS)
|
(see below) |
$450.00
|
Brilliant and lustrous. An affordable example of this somewhat scarce date. |
|
|
| 5340 |
1903 MS-66 (PCGS)
|
(see below) |
$500.00
|
Nicely struck and very attractive. Brilliant with toning around the borders. |
|
|
| 5341 |
1903 MS-66 (PCGS)
|
(see below) |
$360.00
|
Light golden and mottled gray toning over lustrous surfaces. |
|
|
| 5342 |
1903-O MS-65 (PCGS)
|
(see below) |
$440.00
|
Brilliant with a nuance of golden toning. Highly lustrous. The great "story coin" in the Morgan dollar series. There is room for one in every collection, and this piece is certainly a good candidate for your consideration. |
|
|
| 5343 |
1904 MS-65 (PCGS)
|
(see below) |
$2,400.00
|
Gray and golden toning are blended over lustrous surfaces on this high-grade example. This is the last of the early Morgan dollar issues. |
|
|
| 5344 |
1921-S Morgan. MS-66 (NGC)
|
(see below) |
$3,200.00
|
A nice example, fairly well struck, from dies that were essentially unfinished, with all sorts of raised lines around the border on the reverse, and so on. The Mint was in a hurry to turn these out, and quality took a back seat. This comment applies to Morgan dollars dated 1921 from all of the different mints. |
|
|
| 5345 |
1921-S Morgan. MS-65 (PCGS)
|
(see below) |
$725.00
|
Rich lustre. Light golden toning. Due to the relief of the design (low and somewhat indistinct) and the striking quality, the Morgan dollars of 1921 from all mints are always a compromise for connoisseurs. |
