Beautiful Superb Proof 1889 Morgan Dollar 1889 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-67 (PCGS). CAC. Simply put, this is one of the best preserved, most attractive Proof 1889 silver dollars that we have ever had the privilege of bringing to auction. Both sides are vividly toned with slight mottling to iridescent cobalt blue, copper-apricot, reddish-gold, salmon pink and antique silver. The strike is exceptional for a Proof Morgan dollar from the 1888 to 1893 era, the detail razor sharp to full even over the central high points. Silky smooth with glassy reflectivity in the fields, it is difficult for us to imagine a more desirable specimen. The Philadelphia Mint's output of Proof silver dollars in 1889 amounted to 811 coins. Writing in The Morgan and Peace Dollar Textbook, Wayne Miller states: "Although some 1889 proof dollars evidence the flat strike just described [for the preceding issue], this problem is not as prevalent as with the 1888 proof. Nevertheless, it is very frustrating to examine a proof which would otherwise be a full gem coin except for the lack of high-point detail." The winning bidder of this lot will be free of that frustration and secure in the knowledge that they have acquired one of the finest examples of the issue obtainable to today's collectors.
