1879 Morgan Dollar ($1)

A bold proof look with deep, still-pleasing mirrors under an even gunmetal-slate patina that frames frosty devices for a subtle cameo effect. The fields show the expected light hairlines that cap the grade, while the devices remain crisp and undisturbed. Warm gold at the rims adds a touch of color and boosts the eye appeal. This example reads fully original and attractive for the designation.

We found this coin raw in an old collection from Hawaii that had been sitting in a safe for decades. This is a fresh-to-market offering and sits in its PCGS holder for the first time.
