Description
Desirable 1893-S Morgan Dollar, AU55
Coveted Key to the Series
1893-S $1 AU55 NGC. New information about the 1893-S, always
considered the key date in the Morgan dollar series, has further
cemented the issue's status as the least available coin in the
series. In A Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars, third
edition, Q. David Bowers reports an initial mintage of 77,000
pieces for the 1893-S. This figure has been revised downward from
the long-accepted total of 100,000 coins. The new, lower figure
does not surprise Morgan dollar collectors, who have long been
aware of the rarity and desirability of this date.The present coin is a completely original specimen, with light gray surfaces and just a touch of peripheral color. Significant traces of mint luster remain around the protected areas. The only mark of note is located on the reverse field, below OD in GOD. Census: 22 in 55, 39 finer (4/09).(Registry values: P10, N4719)
