December 2025 Showcase Auction - The James A. Stack, Sr. Collection Part I

详细说明: Really a pretty piece, both sides featuring iridescent champagne-gold toning with accents of cobalt blue at the rims. Strike detail is uncommonly full for a pre-1894 Proof silver dollar of this design type, and we even note crisp delineation to the hair curls over Liberty's ear and the feathers on the eagle's breast. A thin, meandering lint mark in the lower right obverse field is as made and serves as a useful identifier for provenance purposes; there are no troublesome hairlines, contact marks or other blemishes to report. Uncommonly smooth even at the near-Gem grade level, and pleasing field to device contrast enhances the already strong technical merits and eye appeal of this premium specimen.<p>Proof silver dollar production at the Philadelphia Mint amounted to 886 coins in 1886, a mintage identical to the year's other Proof silver issues from the dime through half dollar. Most, if not all Proof 1886 Morgan dollars were distributed to contemporary collectors as part of the year's silver Proof sets, and a high percentage of the mintage has come down to the present day. There are some really nice examples throughout the numismatic grading scale, especially at and above the Proof-64 level, as here. These are particularly desirable for Proof type purposes, although we stress that the quality of this James A. Stack, Sr. specimen would lead it to do well in an advanced Proof Morgan dollar set.
