Owner's Comments

Only one die pair 1-A. Scarce mintage with many maybe melted for the new Morgan dollar roll out. Nice even tone and wear for the grade. A few tone over scratches in field areas but overall a decent looking example that faces up well in hand. Photo credit GFRC.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
