1897 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-66 Cameo (PCGS). CAC. This lovely specimen is lightly toned in iridescent silver-gray and champagne-apricot that provides outstanding visual appeal. The technical quality is no less impressive, as both sides fully struck, boldly cameo, and display virtually pristine surfaces. The 1897 is from an era in which the United States Mint produced many of the finest-looking Proofs in the Morgan silver dollar series. Along with those of the 1896 and 1898 issues, the typical Proof 1897 dollar is fully struck with good field to device contrast, as here. Many such coins are expertly preserved, causing this issue to often be selected to represent Americas favorite silver dollar in high grade Proof type sets. A highlight of the extensive Proof Morgan dollar offerings in this sale, and a beautiful coin that will please even the most discerning numismatist. From the Monterrey Collection.
