1889-O Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-65+ (PCGS). An angelic platinum-white example with just a shimmer of golden hues near the borders. Intensely lustrous in the fields and free from any notable imperfections. Thanks to the release of examples from federal vaults over a number of years from the late 1930s to the early 1960s, survivors of this 11,875,000-piece issue are plentiful in an absolute sense. Most are poorly struck with blunt high point definition, however, and many also possess indifferent luster quality and/or numerous abrasions. Those are not the kind of coins of which Gems are made and, indeed, this issue is scarce in MS-65 and rare any finer. Far nicer than the typically offered 1889-O dollar in todays market, the present example is sure to catch the eye of astute bidders.
