Description
Conditionally Scarce 1892-S Dollar, AU58 Prooflike
1892-S $1 AU58 Prooflike NGC. Wayne Miller comments of the 1892-S dollar in his Morgan and Peace Dollar Textbook: "Although readily available in the lower grades, the 1892-S has become somewhat elusive in AU condition." Miller wrote those words in 1982. If this issue was "elusive in AU" 25 years ago, just imagine the challenge that collectors face today. This lovely near-Mint State example possesses beautifully mirrored fields, hence the Prooflike designation on NGC holder. The cameo effect is somewhat muted by lightly patinated surfaces, but when held at an angle under a light source, the prooflike qualities of this coin are proudly announced. NGC has certified a mere 11 1892-S Morgan dollars as Prooflike, three of which are at the AU58 level with one finer, a lone MS64 (12/07).From The Motor City Collection.(Registry values: P8, N1793)
