Shining Choice 1893-O Morgan Dollar

1893-O $1 MS64 PCGS. "If you like a challenge, the 1893-O presents one." So Q. David Bowers introduces the 1893-O in his A Guide Book of Morgan Silver Dollars. Bowers continues by repeating several (legitimate) criticisms of the issue as a whole: Mint State pieces are hard to come by and often bagmarked, strikes are often poor, and luster is frequently unappealing. In virtually every respect, this Choice coin offers a delightful counterpoint. The surfaces are well-preserved with no overt abrasions, and the fields display strong luster with only occasional hints of gold and sage toning close to the margins. Though a touch of softness visits the hair over Liberty's ear, the rest of the coin is boldly detailed. PCGS has certified only seven finer examples (6/08).(Registry values: P8, N4719)
