Russell writes, “Gorgeous toning both obverse & reverse! Worthy of a close-look and the way toned coins like this have been selling at auction - could be a bargain in the end as well-!” NGC has graded 6,587 as MS65 with 1,504 finer.
The Philadelphia Mint continued to produce the largest quantities of Morgan Dollars in subsequent years—far exceeding other mints—until regular production ended in 1904 across all facilities. Struck from 90% silver, it carries George T. Morgan’s classic Liberty portrait and bold eagle reverse.
This example, graded NGC MS-65, displays strong cartwheel luster with only minimal contact marks and light scattered ticks typical for the grade. The strike is sharp on Liberty’s cheek and hair, and the eagle’s breast feathers show crisp detail. Rich reddish-golden toning adorns both sides of this piece.
An MS-65 represents a well-preserved, eye-appealing example from the Philadelphia Mint, with clean fields and original surfaces that have avoided heavy abrasions or harsh cleaning.
