Description
Top-Flight 1901 Morgan Dollar, MS64
1901 $1 MS64 NGC. The 1901 Morgan dollar, mintage 6,962,000 pieces, is readily available in circulated grades, but Mint State pieces are rare. At the MS64 level, the 1901 emerges as one of the keys to the set. Many are presumed melted under the Pittman Act, and there were apparently quality-control problems in the production of the issue. Bowers writes in his 1993 Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States that "Most Mint State 1901 dollars are poorly struck and have inadequate luster."The current near-Gem is the complete opposite. It offers radiant luster and sharply struck design elements. Most of the hair strands over Liberty's ear are strongly delineated, as are the eagle's breast feathers. Essentially untoned surfaces reveal just a few minute marks. Census: 14 in 64, 3 finer (6/10).
