Marvelous 1883 Morgan Dollar, MS68

1883 $1 MS68 PCGS. This is one of those "Oh, my!" coins that we Heritage catalogers regularly have the privilege of viewing. Certified in a green-label holder, this pristine Superb Gem offers incredible original obverse toning combined with a silver-white reverse. The obverse color runs in broad swaths from left to right, lilac, teal, sage, and saffron, unusual but clearly original coloration. The MS68 grade is completely merited, as even under a loupe there are only the most minor signs of contact--chiefly, a single nick on the eagle at midbreast, without which this piece might vie for the ultimate MS69 grade. As it is, this marvelous coin is one of two MS68s at PCGS, with a single MS69 finer (6/09).
