Incredible Premium Gem Mint State 1894 Dollar Key Date Morgan Issue 1894 Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-65+ (PCGS). A fabulous condition rarity to represent one of the most elusive and eagerly sought Philadelphia Mint Morgan dollar issues in all grades. Richly original, the obverse is dressed in a bold blend of light copper and pewter gray patina with intermingled highlights of iridescent cobalt blue and reddish-apricot. The more reserved, yet equally original reverse exhibits champagne-gold iridescence that appears to drift toward the periphery. Smooth and frosty surfaces are boldly to sharply struck from the rims to the centers. At just 110,000 coins produced, the 1894 has the lowest mintage among circulation strike Morgan dollars from the Philadelphia Mint. It is a key date issue in this widely collected series, and is the rarest P-Mint Morgan in Mint State after only the challenging 1901. When offered in uncirculated condition, the 1894 is usually found in MS-60 to MS-64 grades and often has subdued luster and/or numerous detracting marks. Very few examples possess the strong technical quality and eye appeal that confirm the present example as one of the finest 1894 dollars that we have handled in recent memory. With just six grading events finer at PCGS in this category, the significance of this offering for advanced Morgan dollar collectors can hardly be overstated. Provenance: From the Abigail Collection. PCGS Population: 6; 6 finer in this category (MS-66+ finest). PCGS# 7228. NGC ID: 255V. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
