Lot Title: 1899 Morgan dollar MS-64
Description: A layer of cinnamon-bronze color washes over most of this coin, yet is not present to the extent that the outstanding luster and semi-prooflike qualities are obscured. Not quite as well struck as some competing coins, but appealing primarily for the terrific cartwheels and the nicely "framed" appearance. Beautiful, "watery" luster abounds!

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $300.00
High Estimate: $370.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.

Lot #AuctionCurrent Bid or Hammer PriceDescription
860The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$1,350.00
Nine 1899 AU.
Berry Tree Collection. While we conservatively call these AU examples, more than half are VERY likely to get strong UNC consideration, although 1899 has the distinction of a low "spreads" from grade...
951The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$700.00
1899 (VAM-6) PCGS MS-65.
Realistically, 1899 earns an underground reputation as being a little overvalued in grades below Choice, but real gems are genuinely difficult to locate. No doubts should remain for this one as it...
738The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$3,400.00
Nineteen 1899 Morgan dollars.
Curiously, a single coin grades AU, as if it had been a late addition to form a complete roll, yet the tube still remains short a single coin. Notwithstanding these peculiar aberrations, the rest of...
739The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$750.00
1899 PCGS MS-65 CAC.
Effervescent cotton-white luster shimmers beautifully around multiple spokes of the obverse, producing eye-appeal of exceptional aesthetic quality. Liberty's cheek is clean as can be, which allows...
713The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$600.00
Three 1899 ANACS MS-63.
A trio of 1899 Morgan dollars are all graded MS-63 in ANACS yellow holders. At least two different VAMs are represented, but explicit attribution is left up to the dear bidder, who can strain his own...
714The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$725.00
1899 PCGS MS-65 CAC.
Opulent luster diffuses light into cottony-white texture, giving a softly illuminated, glowing appearance. Sharpness is excellent, and details on the reverse seem particularly well-defined. A minor...
841The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$975.00
Seven 1899.
A group of 1899 Morgan dollars. All of them display AU details, but unfortunately, telltale signs of cleaning are evident as well. Seven coin lot.
842The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$475.00
1899, 1902, and 1903. PCGS MS-64 (green label).
These are hardly keys to the series, but the PCGS green-label holders add a touch of star quality to this trio of Morgan dollars, all graded MS-64. In order of most to least brilliant are 1902, 1899...
655The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$575.00
Three uncirculated 1899.
Good looking frost helps out the appearance of each of these 1899 silver dollars, but each is admittedly more abraded than the typical choice coin. Two grade MS-62, lagged by a single MS-61 for a...
656The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$755.00
Five 1899 XF to AU.
For the collector that just can't get enough of the 1899 Morgan dollar, here is a lot of five, ranging in grade from XF to AU. Each is lustrous and problem-free.
657The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$475.00
Four 1899 VF range/some cleaned.
1899 dollars probably survive in higher numbers for mint-state coins than for those that actually circulated. Here is a lot of four that actually saw use. Savor the moment.
658The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$800.00
Six 1899 XF.
A half-dozen 1899 Morgan dollars, all of them in XF grade, or perhaps a touch better. While some of these might actually present as AU coins, evidence of very light cleaning or a mild dip is evident...
659The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$360.00
Two 1899 "sliders."
Both of these 1899 Morgan dollars are truly AU-58 sliders, yet appear as close to MS-60 as coins can get. Fully lustrous with there merest hints of friction in the fields. Two coin lot.
660The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$600.00
Three 1899 MS-60 to MS-63.
Terrific mint luster and a nice, pleasing original appearance is evident for all three of these 1899 Morgan dollars. 1899 is one issue in the series that has the distinction of a very small spread...
661The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$330.00
1899 MS-64.
Shockingly beautiful and original sunny-gold tone dominates each side, ceding gently to lazy sky-blue accents at the rims. This effect is particularly vivid on the reverse, and both sides shimmer...
662The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$280.00
1899 PCGS MS-64.
Ice-blue toning envelops this entire coin, though the outstanding luster is not inhibited in any way. The neon lavender-bluish effect is remarkably luminous and unusual, to say the least.
1016The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$350.00
1899 and 1903 PCGS MS-64.
1899 and 1903 Morgan dollars, both graded MS-64, are housed in PCGS rattler holders. The former coin is layered in misty-silver patina, while the latter is mostly brilliant. Both coins are a little...
804The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$220.00
1899 MS-64.
There is no obvious sign of tampering with the color of this better date Morgan dollar, though the vivid magenta-rose tone that entirely consumes both sides is a little unusual. Resounding mint...
745The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$625.00
1899 and 1901-S Morgan dollars.
A pair of pleasing Morgan dollars, both better dates. The 1899 grades MS-64 and generates fantastic eye appeal with reverberating white mint luster and nearly unblemished surfaces. The 1901-S produces...
746The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$230.00
1899 MS-63.
MS-63 is a conservative grade for a coin with this much booming mint luster, and a very good strike certainly aids the eye appeal as well. Although unmarked overall, Liberty's cheek is affected by...
749The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$360.00
1899 Morgan dollar, PCGS MS-63 PL
Prooflike character is obvious the instant this better-date dollar is flashed beneath a lamp. Incipient gold color has begun to gather at the rims.
750The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$340.00
1899 Morgan dollar, PCGS MS-64
Marvelous luster dominates this lovely Morgan dollar, and it is enhanced with the presence of an icy-thin layer of arctic-blue color that tints the entire coin. Some superficial linear abrasions on...
862The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$350.00
1899 NGC MS-64.
Although a relatively available coin in grades of AU-50 through MS-62, 1899 is recognized as a somewhat tougher date in the higher BU grades. This example appears to be incredibly conservatively...
863The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$550.00
1899 MS-65.
1899 is a well known semi-key in the series, and it is seldom found with anything other than typical silver-grey color. The present example is absolutely drenched with an endless supply of...
835The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$315.00
1899 PCGS MS-64
This remarkably white specimen is further emphasized by its velvetlike aspect. Fewer marks than might normally be expected for the grade.
854The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$390.00
1899 NGC AU-58 and 1899 NGC MS-62.
This lot offers a handsome pairing of a rather elusive Philadelphia issue. Both exhibit a satiny exuberance with hints of golden nuances. Neither piece displays obtrusive marks or blemishes. The AU...
859The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$355.00
Two 1899 Morgan Silver Dollars.
Nice pair of Morgan Dollars. One grades AU+, and the other is a cleaned AU. Both have a lot of luster and minimal marks.
860The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$450.00
1899 AU-58 and 1903-O MS-60
A couple of better date examples that are both bright and show solid luster for their grades. The 1903-O looks semi-prooflike on the obverse.
861The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$1,750.00
1899 NGC PF-63.
This magnificent Proof specimen's resplendent surfaces flaunt an elegant golden aspect. An interesting array of die polishing lines are observed on its obverse. Aside from an insignificant...
755The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$310.00
1899 AU.
This is a nice AU Morgan Dollar that is a harder-to-find date. It still has plenty of luster remaining and shows only minimal wear on the hair.
756The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$220.00
1899 AU-55.
Extremely bright and reflective for an AU, but it appears to have been lightly dipped long ago and has since retoned. An overall pleasing better-date coin.
757The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$220.00
1899 AU-58.
This is a bright white Morgan Dollar that has just a bit if peripheral toning. It is very close to being an Unc.
758The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$270.00
1899 MS-62.
Phenomenal satiny luster accents this specimen's virtually white appearance. A sprinkling of minuscule ticks and faint scuffs do not detract from its visual allure. A most prominent strike resulted...
927The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$340.00
1899 NGC MS-64.
An original and lovely dollar with areas of rich blue, russet, and violet toning scattered around the obverse peripheries.
858The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$210.00
1899 ANACS MS-60.
Talk about a tale of two sides of a coin. The reverse is a solid MS-64+, but the obverse has some horizontal lines on Liberty's chin that downgrade this date that is difficult to locate in all...
859The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$1,950.00
1899 PCGS MS-65 DMPL.
The DMPL fields are blanketed somewhat by a soft natural haze on the well-defined Proof. There is certainly a detectable contrast between the frosty Eagle and the reverse fields.
