Morgan Dollars
1885-O $1 MS68 ★ NGC. Exactly a dozen 1885-O Morgan dollars are numerically finer than MS67. One is at PCGS, and 11 are at NGC; all grade MS68, save for the present coin which is designated MS68 ★. Arguably the sole finest example known of the date, this high-end '85-O is beautifully toned in forest-green, violet, and sun-gold waves horizontally across the obverse with silver and russet above and below the multicolor ribbons. The reverse is brilliant over the interior with gold and blue toning at the borders. The coin is beautifully preserved and frosty, and it shows a good strike. A radiant cartwheel effect only magnifies the wonderful toning. Census: 11 in 68 (1 in 68 ★), 0 finer (3/17).
