Proof Morgan Dollars
1887 $1 PR64 NGC. One of the more popular dates for proof type purposes in the Morgan dollar series. This is a well-produced issue, struck before the weak strikes from the early 1890s. The fragile, glassy mirrors show a few light hairlines on the obverse, and the reverse appears struck from a slightly granular planchet. Pinpoint striking details and brilliant throughout. Census: 53 in 64, 76 finer (10/16).
