- Impressive Gem Proof 1880 Silver Dollar
1880 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-66 (PCGS). CAC.
Offered in a conditionally rare Proof Morgan dollar. It is a coin that exudes originality in the form of typical Millholland cabinet toning. The obverse is dressed in mottled olive-russet iridescence, while the reverse is target-toned in steel-blue, sandy-mauve and pewter-gray. Fully struck with intense reflectivity to the finish. As one of the higher graded examples of the date verified by CAC in the non-Cameo category, interested parties should expect strong competition from other bidders for this offering and are urged to prepare an aggressive bidding strategy.
Unlike today where you can only buy Proof examples of regular coinage in sets (albeit in a wide array of options), not only did the Philadelphia Mint sell Proof sets to collectors, but they also made individual coins available to anyone who wished to obtain them. The minor coinage was especially popular for completing collections using individual coins rather than buying a whole set for only a couple of the coins contained therein. For those who ordered the sets, the Mint was more than happy to oblige, and sets of the silver and minor coinage were particularly popular.
Provenance: From the Collection of James Allaire Millholland, 1842-1911.
CAC Population: 9; 8.
