1901 Morgan Dollar, MS63
Important Conditionally Rare Date

1901 $1 MS63 PCGS. From a large mintage of nearly 7 million pieces, the 1901 Morgan dollar is a formidable condition rarity in the series. While circulated examples are common, and lower Mint State specimens are available for a price, Select pieces are definitely scarce. Among business-strike Morgan dollar issues, only the 1896-O is more difficult to obtain in Gem condition.
The present coin is a no-doubt Mint State example, with a few marks on Liberty's face explaining the grade. The striking details are a little soft on the central devices, but the peripheries are sharp. The obverse surfaces are highlighted by shades of ice-blue color, yielding to golden at the rims. The reverse is darker, with deep russet-golden hues present. The depth of color makes the reverse appear hazy when tilted in the light.(Registry values: P9, N4719)
