1901 Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-64 (PCGS).，Offered is a well produced, exceptionally well preserved 1901 Morgan dollar, a highly regarded condition rarity. Satiny in texture with a smooth and inviting appearance, the surfaces are nearly fully brilliant with just the faintest traces of toning at the extreme peripheries. The strike is bold to sharp throughout and there is eye appeal to spare. With nearly seven million silver dollars struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1901, it would be reasonable to think that this issue would be one of the most common Morgan dollars. Examples in lower circulated grades are plentiful enough that they barely merit any sort of premium. Uncirculated coins are a completely different story; the 1901 silver dollar is one of the most difficult of all the Philadelphia Mint issues to acquire at even the basal Mint State level. It is thought that while many coins were released into circulation, whatever bags that were retained by the Treasury were melted as a result of the 1918 Pittman Act. Today, Gem Mint State survivors are among the great rarities of the Morgan series with near Gem examples, as here, extremely elusive and always in demand among advanced collectors. A mere three examples are graded finer at PCGS.，PCGS# 7272. NGC ID: 256J.，PCGS Population: 35; 3 finer (MS-66 finest)，
