David Bowers: “when Morgan dollars began to be studied in detail in the 1960s, the 1901 Philadelphia Mint issue was soon recognized as a major league rarity.”
This 1901 Morgan Dollar, graded PCGS MS-62, is a rare piece of American numismatic history. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this coin features George T. Morgan’s iconic design, showcasing Lady Liberty’s serene portrait and a bold eagle on the reverse. PCGS has graded 345 as MS62 with 222 finer. Collector’s Universe (CU) prices this issue at $8,000. Therefore, buy this coin and you will save $1,425 off the CU price!
Of this issue, Bowers writes, “Of all Philadelphia Mint circulation strike dollars, excepting the spectral 1895, the 1901 is the rarest in Mint State.” When one considers all of the Philadelphia Mint circulation strike dollars, the 1901 is the rarest in Mint State. It is difficult to know why, but it is possible that many were placed into circulation at or near the time of issue. However, since the Morgan dollar typically did not circulate, odds are that many were melted under the Pittman Act of 1918.Product ID | 555996 |
