This lovely gem boasts truly scintilating mint luster that is at once sparkling and luminous. Moreover, the surfaces are exceptionally clean in light of the stated grade designation. However, it is the dazzling original toning that elevates this coin to an even higher level of desirability. The obverse is literally aglow with brilliant lemon, tangerine, fuchsia, violet, teal and emerald hues the culminate in deep burgundy luminescence. A thin crescent of peacock, crimson, aquamarine, lilac and amber iridescence adheres to a third of the periphery. A glowing premium quality jewel with wonderful visual prescence. ^Top Click here for large image 1887 $1 MS66 PCGS w/CAC SKU : EB1898 Price: $2,750.00  Add to your coin requests  CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. WOW, here's an end roller that might light your fire -- it sure did mine. This little jewel packs a heck of a powerful punch in terms of its sheer visual appeal. It is sharply struck with dazzling frosty mint brilliance throughout, and as the grade designation would indicate, very well preserved surfaces too. I have to tell you though -- it's the wild neon toning that delivers the knockout punch. The obverse exhibits brilliant flourescent teal, peacock, fuchsia, tangerine and crimson hues laid out in a well defined geometric pattern atop a canvas of lemon, lilac and sky blue iridescence. The reverse is primarily white with a crescent of light ocher clinging to the rim at the bottom. Monster eye appeal and a more than ample quotient of pizzazz combine to form a genuine numismatic work of art. ^Top Click here for large image 1887/6 $1 MS64 PL PCGS w/CAC SKU : EB2025 Price: $2,450.00  Add to your coin requests  CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. Another coin that I strongly disagree with PCGS in regard to the grade (and a coin that I have resubmitted on more than one occasion and may do again in the near future). This specimen is sharply struck with very well preserved surfaces. The overdate is prominent with the lower loop of the six clearly visible. The fields are very reflective and fully deserving of the prooflike designation. And speaking of its prooflike status -- this is a very scarce coin in this state of preservation as evidenced by the fact that PCGS has certified only fifty eight at this level with thirty five higher. ^Top Click here for large image 1891 $1 MS64 PL PCGS w/CAC SKU : EB2015 Price: $3,250.00  Add to your coin requests  CAC approved with sticker denoting Premium Quality. PCGS has certified a mere sixteen examples of this date as MS64 PL with none having been graded higher. As a side note there are but eighteen MS64 DMPL's certified with none finer. This is an undeniably rare coin in this condition and very desirable as such. It is well struck throughout and the fragile reflective surfaces reveal only minor distractions. The fields are actually quite reflective and the devices are lightly frosted rendering a distinct cameo contrast. There is a faint blush of light champagne patination present. ^Top Click here for large image 1895-S $1 MS63 DMPL PCGS SKU : EB1946 Price: $15,900.00 ON HOLD WOW, this is a really impressive coin for its stated grade…and I know a thing or two about this date, having handled many of the top 1895-S DMPL dollars over the years. I purchased what I still believe to be the finest known ultra-deep mirror black and white cameo prooflike for $6,000 in mid-1980 and subsequently sold it to Bruce Amspacher in early 1981 for $26,000 -- quite a hefty price at the time…particularly in light of the horrific coin market crash of April 1980. This specific coin and transaction are discussed on page 146 of “The Morgan and Peace Dollar Textbook” by Wayne Miller. A couple of years ago I sold a PCGS MS66 DMPL 1895-S dollar to a well-known dealer for a price in the high $70,000 range and it just sold in the Bowers and Merena Denver ANA auction for $103,500 (including the buyers premium). To be perfectly honest – from a purely aesthetic perspective I like this MS63 DMPL better than the MS66 DMPL and it’s available for a lot less money! This coin is boldly struck with deeply mirrored fields and richly frosted cameo devices (the MS66 DMPL was more semi-PL and didn’t have nearly the contrast). The surfaces appear to be of much higher quality than the grade would indicate due to a lack of any significant abrasions (the MS66 DMPL had numerous light marks scattered across the cheek). Although 1895-S DMPL’s do exhibit die polishing lines in the fields, there are some (non mint caused) hairlines in the area under the jaw line of Liberty, which in reality shouldn’t have kept this coin out of the MS64 category. Moreover, this lovely piece is bathed in light champagne patina overall with accents of lilac, ice blue, lime and cinnamon at the periphery. In my opinion this is a solid MS64 DMPL that at first glance appears to be a Gem. It is certainly much more attractive and visually appealing than a number of washed out PCGS MS63 DMPL’s that have appeared in major auctions over the last several years. In the final analysis I’d much rather have an obviously original coin with a few trivial lines than one whose original skin has been burnt off by one too many trips in the Jewel Luster or at a conservation service. ^Top
