- 1888 Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-67 (NGC).
Lovely satin surfaces are silky smooth in appearance and border on pristine. Both sides are brilliant and also sport impressively sharp striking detail throughout the design. The Philadelphia Mint's "triple 8" Morgan dollar issue has a generous circulation strike mintage of 19,183,000 pieces. These coins were produced under the terms of the 1878 Bland-Allison Act, the original authorizing legislation for this silver dollar series. While thousands of examples were likely melted in 1918 pursuant to the Pittman Act, enough coins entered numismatic channels in the 1950s and early to mid 1960s that the 1888 is readily obtainable today in most Mint State grades. Many are lightly struck in the centers, however, and even more are noticeably abraded. The present example -- expertly produced and carefully preserved -- is a condition rarity par excellence that represents a significant find for collectors of high grade Morgan dollars.
