Lot Title: 1880 PCGS MS-65 CAC.
Description: Some coins "wow" with their luster, others summon exclamations of joy due to careful preservation, and still others generate accolades because of amazing color. Here is a normally common silver dollar that accomplishes all three acclamations at once, in unexpectedly delightful fashion. To try to capture the astounding subtle beauty of the color in mere words is an exercise in futility, but a welcome aspect of the cataloging experience for such a crown jewel as this. Both sides feature deeply saturated artiste colors, with the reverse dominated by the kind of army-green and navy-grey coloration that could inspire patriotic allegiance. The obverse features a somewhat more dramatic color scheme; no subtleties here! A vibrant band of lemon-orange and chartreuse lays out the circumferential pattern at the rim, and calmly passes through bands of sea-green, iridescent aqua-blue and magenta-grey upon approach to Liberty's portrait. From a grading standpoint, a handful of ticks cluster at the very bottom of the neck, and the strike misses full details over the ear, but elsewhere, there is plenty of definition to satisfy the technical collector. For such an amazing price as this, the Scotsman Cataloger's Choice award couldn't be more apt. (PCGS# 007096)
