详细说明

1895-S Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-64 DMPL (PCGS). Both sides are brilliant, the fields displaying an uncommon degree of reflectivity in an example of this low mintage, key date Morgan dollar issue. The devices, on the other hand, are set apart with a soft, satiny texture. Sharp to full in strike, with minimally abraded surfaces that are free of outwardly distracting bagmarks. San Francisco turned out 400,000 Morgans of the date, most of which paid their dues, and then some, in circulation. Elusive in Mint State, especially so at MS-64 and finer and with DMPL contrast as offered here. Among the two dozen finest grading <em>events </em>listed by PCGS for the date, and rightfully so.<br /> <br /> <strong>Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers</strong><br /> DMPL Morgan dollars are a specialty unto themselves, enthusiastically collected. When this coin crosses the auction block we expect a lot of competition, as this certainly is one of the rare dates and mints in that category.
