1898 Morgan Silver Dollar. Proof-67 Ultra Cameo (NGC). A magnificent survivor from this popular Proof mintage, displaying pearlescent ivory-white surfaces that radiate with mint brilliance. This coin is virtually flawless, with Libertys portrait rendered as if in marble, and the eagles plumage crisply delineated throughout. Rich, satiny luster blankets the devices, contrasting sharply with the watery and reflective fields. Breathtaking to view in-hand and technically stunning.<p>Along with the 1896 and 1897, the 1898 is one of the most consistently well produced and attractive Proofs in the Morgan silver dollar series. A total of only 735 such Proofs were struck, the vast majority of which are either lost, impaired, or rendered clearly inferior to the presently offered coin. This piece is among the finest known survivors. For the advanced collector pursuing the most desirable representatives of the Morgan series or 19th century U.S. Mint type coinage, our offering of this piece is an important opportunity.
