Description
1895 Morgan Dollar PR64 Cameo NGC. Although we commonly think of the Pittman Act from the date of its passage in April 1918, in reality the mass meltings of silver dollars were in 1919 and 1920. A total of 270,232,722 silver dollars were melted--but the act also provided for recoinage of the Morgan dollar in 1921 with slightly different, redesigned hubs. A total of 86 million dollars were produced between Denver, San Francisco, and Philadelphia.If any 1895 business strike Morgan dollars were ever produced, the Pittman Act meltings are most assuredly to blame for their absence today from the numismatic scene. Proofs such as this Choice Cameo coin, however, remain an attractive option for today's collector. The present specimen has a bold cameo effect that persists through the rich, even gold toning that blankets each side.
