Sumptuous 1902 Morgan Dollar, PR68

1902 $1 PR68 NGC. The early 20th century brought substantial changes to Mint preparation of proofs, and for the last three generally available proof Morgan dollar issues, most examples are brilliant, with little to none of the cameo effect that endears earlier issues to numismatists. In many cases, collector preference shifts for those three issues, from the minimally-toned, strongly-contrasted appearance of 19th century issues to rich toning that softens the often chromelike reflectivity of the 20th century coins.
This sharply struck piece offers both exemplary preservation and ample patina. Elegant waves of green-gold, mint, emerald, and cherry toning consume each side. Outstanding eye appeal for this issue of 777 pieces. For the contrast designation, one of just six PR68 coins in the combined certified population, with none finer (6/08).
