Morgan Dollars
1902-O $1 MS67 NGC. David Bowers cites Wayne Miller who wrote in 1982 that the issue is: "Typically among the poorest struck of the late New Orleans dollars. Most are flatly struck with horrible luster." Not so with the Superb Gem offered here. Essentially untoned surfaces yield dazzling luster and sharply struck design elements. While minor softness is noted on the hair over Liberty's ear, the eagle's breast feathers are well brought-up. There are no mentionable marks to report. Census: 26 in 67 (1 in 67★), 0 finer (11/16).
Ex: Summer FUN Signature (Heritage, 7/2007), lot 1731.
