Proof Morgan Dollars
1893 $1 PR63 PCGS. Most 1893s are weakly struck as the first Morgan proofs struck on the hydraulic press. The present example is soft over the ear and at the eagle's talons, but otherwise it is reasonably sharp. Brilliant with pale-gold at the rims, this Select proof has nicely mirrored fields that provide moderate contrast with lightly frosted devices. Just 792 proofs were struck in a year of financial turmoil. Population: 38 in 63, 80 finer (5/17).
