1903-S Morgan Silver Dollar. VAM-2. Top 100 Variety. Small S. AU-50 (NGC).This is one of the more difficult Top 100 Morgan dollar varieties to find, and most are in far lower grades than this noteworthy example. The coin is lightly toned with iridescent reddish-russet outlines to many of the design elements. Ample satin luster remains in the protected areas, and striking detail is solid with only gentle circulation as shown by the expected friction on the high points and open fields. It is believed that the S mintmark used for this reverse die was the same size as that used for quarter dollar dies that year. Just shy of Condition Census quality and an important offering for the specialist. Of course, any 1903-S Morgan dollar in AU preservation is quite a challenge to find, with most of those known today in the Very Fine or so grade range; few exist that qualify as Mint State today. This AU-50 will be a formidable representative of either the date or the ever popular VAM variety.PCGS# 133967. NGC ID: 256T.From the Bimyway Collection.
