(About The Images)
Twenty 1885 and forty 1887 Morgan dollars. Twenty 1885 and forty 1887 Morgan dollars.
Lot Title: Twenty 1885 and forty 1887 Morgan dollars.
Description: The 1885s seem to come from multiple sources and average in grade between MS-61 and MS-62. A couple of 1887 coins may be suspect "sliders", but these tend to be in the same MS-61 to MS-62 grade range.

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: $2,400.00
High Estimate: $2,700.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.

809The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$400.00
1885 PCGS MS-65.
LES Set. Location, location, location, and in this case, an exceptionally vibrant ribbon of ultra-violet, cerulean-purple and magenta-creme locates itself almost completely around the obverse and...
810The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$525.00
1885 NGC MS-66.
Evidently an end-of-roll coin, the obverse displays soothing, delightful pastel tones of apricot and sky-blue, along with a distinct crimson dot flung off to the far right. The reverse shows no color...
897The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$380.00
1885 PCGS MS-64DMPL.
Mirrored action borders on insanity for this blatantly prooflike dollar, and even delicate peach-gold patina overall fails to diminish the depth of reflectivity. Vibrant but slender rim toning adds...
702The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012$900.00
Twenty 1885 Morgan dollars.
One coin is well toned, likely from the end of a roll, while the balance of coins are basically "white". A few unmatched edges suggest that it is a "made" roll, although the quality seems excellent...
880The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$775.00
Twenty Uncirculated 1885 Morgan dollars.
Overall appearance strongly suggests that these Morgan dollars derive from an original roll, transferred to the plastic tube for safekeeping. The edges have consistent appearance from coin to coin,...
663The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$900.00
1885 NGC MS-67.
Brilliance diffuses over the fleecy-white surfaces, breaking up myriad points of light into delicate satin sheen. A scant touch of golden tone reaches out and touches the lower extremity of the...
603The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$240.00
1885 PCGS MS-64DMPL.
Instant appeal is provided to the observer by the vast reflectivity of the fields and the exemplary contrast brought about by the matte devices. While the number of abrasions is technically within...
603The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$500.00
Twenty uncirculated 1885.
One coin has textile tone, and another a full rainbow, suggesting these came from an original bag. A nice, choice group.
953The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$220.00
1885 NGC MS-66.
A Morgan dollar graded MS-66 by NGC.
775The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$230.00
1885 PCGS MS-64DMPL.
Indicative of a very young die, the conspicuous DMPL contrast is particularly vivid for this 1885 Morgan dollar, providing a dead-on impersonation of a proof coin. Unlike competing examples that are...
765The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$240.00
1885 PCGS MS-64 DMPL.
It has been at least a decade since this reflective beauty last entered the PCGS grading room, and one has to wonder if they would see the coin the same way today. If it is not an MS-65, it can't be...
766The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$340.00
Three 1885 ANACS MS-65.
Each glistening example has a lustrous elegance that is augmented by delightful russet nuances. Liberty portrays a nearly pristine cheek on all three needle-sharp specimen.
767The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$675.00
1885 PCGS MS-65 DMPL.
The only word in the English dictionary that accurately describes this coin is, "wow!" The reflectivity of the fields, the frostiness of the devices, and the details of the strike are all first rate....
801The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$475.00
1885 GSA MS-64.
This is not a 1885-CC. Most 1885 dated coins in a GSA holder also sport the CC mintmark, but not this coin. The 1885-P is much more scarce in the government issue holder. The surfaces of this coin...
665The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$130.00
1885 NGC MS-63 PL.
Frosty white devices and highly reflective fields really give this coin the look for which coin collectors strive. There is a mark on Liberty's cheek that is worth mentioning.
666The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$600.00
1885 MS-65 DMPL.
Highly reflective fields, frosty white devices, and attractive peripheral toning team up like a band of superheroes to give this Morgan Dollar a look that can only be described as, "WOW."
667The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$725.00
Two 1885 NGC MS-66.
Nice pair of MS-66+ Morgan Dollars that are blast white and problem free. There is a chance that one of these may someday grade MS-67.
