- Seldom Offered Superb Proof 1902 Silver Dollar
1902 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-67 (NGC).
A handsome specimen, both sides are deeply and richly toned in charcoal-blue and copper-rose patina with iridescent golden-apricot undertones. Overall fully struck with a silky smooth texture and a uniformly mirrored finish evident beneath the toning at direct lighting angles. From a mintage of 777 pieces, one of the lowest among Proof silver dollars of the Morgan design type.
The 1902 is the first Proof Morgan dollar issue for which Mint employees lightly polished the recessed areas of the dies, the typical example displaying a universally brilliant finish without the cameo contrast seen on most earlier dated Proofs of this type. The 1903 and 1904 were also produced in brilliant format. Scarce when compared to many Proof Morgan dollar issues from the 1880s and 1890s, the 1902 is rare with the virtually pristine surfaces offered here.
Provenance: From the Janet Nakushian Collection.
NGC Census: 11; 7 finer in this category (Proof-68 * finest).
PCGS# 7337. NGC ID: 2822.
