Behind the 1893-S dollar, the 110,000 mintage for the 1894 dollar is the lowest business strike mintage of the entire Morgan dollar series. While a semi-key date in lower Mint State grades, this is a date that is EXTREMELY RARE in GEM grade, as offered here. A full, booming luster shows off original, creamy white color. The surfaces have a bold, brilliant rolling cartwheel effect on both sides. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and sharply struck. Close inspection with a strong glass reveals some microscopic marks and ticks, but they have minimal impact on the superb eye appeal. PCGS 25, NGC 8. The last several examples sold in the $25,000 to $34,000 range and the current Collectors Universe value is listed at $37,500. VERY RARE any finer, with just a dozen examples graded through MS66+. This marvelous coin belongs in an amazing set! Cert. Number 35820264 PCGS # 7228.00
