Twenty uncirculated 1881-O. Twenty uncirculated 1881-O.
Lot Title: Twenty uncirculated 1881-O.
Description: Quality of this roll is so superior that it is easy to mistake the coins for the consistently nice 1881-S! There are seventeen sparkling, ultra-white coins in the tube, and the consignor has separated what he believed to be the three best pieces into protective holders. Spectacular opportunity here -- a single MS-65 would make this a home run, and it doesn't take many MS-64s to turn this into a ground rule triple. And some of these coins are surely full gems!

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: $2,700.00

833The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$750.00
1881-O PCGS MS-64DMPL.
Checkered Collection. Staggering eye-appeal derives from the crystal-clear prooflike sensibilities offered by this New Orleans issue. 1881-O can sometimes be found in DMPL grades, but for just...
778The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$475.00
1881-O PCGS MS-64, 1890-S PCGS MS-64, and an 1891-S PCGS MS-63.
Smithereen's Collection. Consistently beautiful, pristine white brilliance dominates the eye-appeal for a trio of Morgan dollars that are a bit tougher than the most common dates in BU or better. ...
779The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$775.00
1881-O PCGS MS-64DMPL.
Marvelous contrast like this will win the PCGS "DMPL" designation every time, and the delicate mirrors show fewer abrasions than usual for the grade. Some attractive royal-gold toning has begun to...
973The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$1,000.00
1881-O PCGS MS-64DMPL CAC.
Knockout cameo contrast and mirrored fields still manage to support the presence of swirling, twirling luster within the brilliant fields. Small abrasions trickle through the fields, yet Liberty's...
718The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$300.00
1881-O PCGS MS-63DMPL.
Many prooflike and DMPL examples of 1881-O exist, but this one blows away most of the competition. The obverse mirrors offer stunning depth, and if not for the usual noise in the fields, this would...
771The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$290.00
1881-O PCI MS-65.
1881-O is somewhat scarce at the MS-65 grade level. Though this is a nicer example in a PCI gold-label holder, a light wipe across Liberty's neck and cheek will bar full value at that grade. A...
854The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$475.00
1881-O PCGS MS-63+ DMPL CAC.
Although 1881-O isn't recognized as being "rare" with true DMPL characteristics, it is not nearly as common as some more generic dates in the Morgan dollar series. Contrast offered between very...
649The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$600.00
1881-O NGC MS-64*.
An exhilarating, vivid swath of rainbow tone layers the upper-right quadrant of the obverse and instantly lays out a convincing argument for the "star" designation given by NGC, and not to be missed...
765The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$1,150.00
1881-O PCGS MS-64DMPL (Secure Plus).
While hardly common as a DMPL, 1881-O remains attainable up through the present numeric MS-64 DMPL grade. A point upgrade is formidable, and the expense climbs twenty-fold, making a near-gem...
583The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$950.00
Eighteen uncirculated 1881-O.
It is obvious that these 1881-O Morgan dollars have been together for a long time, as they are exceptionally consistent in quality and original patina. On top of that, preservation is excellent, and...
780The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$100.00
1881-O GSA XF-40.
Original mint luster can be observed lurking around the devices of both the obverse and reverse. It is housed in a blue GSA envelope.
781The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$310.00
1881-O MS-64+.
In MS-64, this coin's bid price is $155.00. In MS-65, the bid price is $1,240.00. This little beauty has rainbow toning, minimal marks, a good strike, and no distractions.
749The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$0.00
1881-O PCGS MS-64.
Prooflike in appearance, this New Orleans issue has frosted motifs enhanced by a golden blush and complemented by reflective fields. The surface marks are congruent with the grade, but somewhat...
