Description
1891 Morgan Dollar, PR66
Deeply Toned and Wonderfully Preserved
1891 $1 PR66 NGC. One has to wonder, what happened here? How
did this coin tone in this manner? The center of the obverse shows
a small island of brilliance in an ocean of deep toning. Once in a
great while we have seen coins that have untoned areas that are
suggestive of a smaller diameter coin lying atop it for many years.
That seems unlikely here as the circle of brilliance is about the
size of a three cent silver, a denomination that was discontinued
18 years previously. The fields are unhairlined and there are no
contact marks that we can find. Both sides are immersed in deep
shades of cobalt-blue with a green undertone and the occasional
dash of rose. Undoubtedly this is one of the finest preserved
proofs from the mintage of 650 pieces. Census: 32 in 66, 16 finer
(3/10).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27ZL, PCGS# 7326, GSID# 7829)
