Description
1904 Morgan Dollar, MS66 ★
Tied for the Finest Numerically Graded
1904 $1 MS66 ★ NGC. This highly appealing Morgan dollar is
an exceptional representative of the conditionally rare 1904
Philadelphia issue. Both sides display frosty luster beneath rich
toning. The obverse is vibrant reddish-gold and sea-green, and the
reverse blends sea-green and amber. Although slightly weak at the
center as usual, the strike is exceptional, and far finer than
usually encountered. The over-the-top eye appeal is well-deserving
of NGC's Star designation.Population Data (7/14): NGC shows 10 examples of the issue in MS66, two of which, including the present piece, are MS66 ★ coins, and there is one MS66+. PCGS reports 18 examples in MS66 and none finer.
Heritage Commentary: There have never been any known hoards of 1904 silver dollars, and they were not represented in any quantity in the Treasury holdings released a half-century ago. Sharply struck Gem or finer coins, such as this Premium Gem Star-designated NGC example, are highly elusive.
Provenance: Purchased from Bill Nagle (9/2011).(Registry values: P5, N2998)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 256U, PCGS# 7290, Greysheet# 7598)
