- FROM THE P.F.M. COLLECTION. A GEM AU, "super slider" example of the Hot Lips variety, one of the most sought after varieties in the Morgan dollar series, even garnering placement in the Guide Book of United States Coins. As the moniker implies, the boldest evidence of the doubled die is at Liberty's lips, (as well as at the nose and chin). Last sold in the Heritage's November 2004 auction of the Rafael Romero Collection, where it was described in part: "The bright surfaces are essentially untoned, and display sharply struck design elements, except for softness in the hair over Liberty's ear. Remarkably clean surfaces show just a few minor contact marks and luster grazes on Liberty's cheek and neck, and in the adjacent field." PCGS 61, NGC 21, CAC 17. Only nine coins are graded finer at PCGS, the finest being graded MS62. In the above cited Romero Collection, this coin sold for $8,913. At the time, it was tied for finest certified at PCGS. Since then there have been few lower Mint State grade examples graded and sold. A 58+ CAC sold in the 2018 FUN auction for $5,280 and the sole MS62 sold in the 2017 ANA auction for $12,925. This nearly condition census piece retains a wonderful look, that in the old days before certification, would likely have been called "Uncirculated." Worthy of a strong bid! Cert. Number 60107859 PCGS # 7308
