1898 $1 Morgan PCGS PR64+

Description

From a proof mintage of only 735 coins. Proof Morgan silver dollars minted in the years 1895-1898 are known for their high technical quality and beautiful appearance. The dollars of 1898 are particularly noteworthy in this respect. Most examples seen are boldly struck on high quality, polished planchets. It is evident that the engravers and die sinkers at the Mint had perfected the proof die production process to a high state of the art. Proofs of later years seldom show the deep cameo contrast that is characteristic of examples from this period. Michael Fuljenz states, “This date was probably the best made in the entire series.”
