Select 1901 Morgan Dollar
Condition Rarity in Higher Grades

1901 $1 MS63 PCGS. The 1901 Morgan dollar claims a substantial mintage of nearly 7 million pieces, but the issue circulated widely and few examples were saved by collectors. Q. David Bowers considers the 1901 the second rarest Morgan dollar in Gem Mint State condition. The present coin is an attractive Select specimen, and population data supports Bowers' conclusion about high grade rarity, as PCGS has certified only 23 coins in higher numeric grades (8/10).
The coin offered here is a well struck specimen, with just a touch of softness on the eagle's breast. The mostly brilliant surfaces show light hints of gold toning and bright frosty mint luster. A few minor, grade consistent abrasions are scattered over the surfaces.
