1884-S NGC AU-55. 1884-S NGC AU-55.
Lot Title: 1884-S NGC AU-55.
Description: Fairly easy to locate even in AU, choice examples become a bit more challenging, and forget about purchasing even the lowest quality UNC, as that price tag begins around $7000! Luckily, the collector gives up little when picking up a vibrant off-white coin like this. Pronounced spokes of luster still penetrate the fields and very little detail has been lost to circulation. (PCGS# 007156)
Low Estimate: $400.00

865The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$250.00
1884-S AU.
Being a bit less abraded than the usual 1884-S means this example looks prettier as well, as flashy white luster roams the fields and illuminates very well impressed details. The consignor states...
866The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$775.00
1884-S NGC AU-55, 1880-S PCGS MS-66, 1890-S PCGS MS-64, plus a 1922-S...
Bradford Pear Collection. Certified silver dollars comprise this quartet, and each features white, or perhaps off-white surfaces. They may be listed as follows: 1880-S (PCGS MS-66, very nearly...
867The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$2,400.00
1884-S PCGS AU-58.
Checkered Collection. Famous as one of the most outrageous grade-rarities in the series, 1884-S is almost impossible to find at even just MS-60, and a true AU-58 should be the target of every astute...
804The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$675.00
1884-S, 1901, and 1892-CC, as described.
NGC correctly calls these cleaned, as each seems too bright for the assigned details grade. Nonetheless, all are tougher dates in high grade for the series, listed with DETAILS as follows: 1884-S...
805The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$650.00
1884-S, 1893, and 1901, all NGC AU-53.
Bradford Pear Collection. Significantly different character will become quickly apparent despite the suitable AU-53 grade assigned each. 1884-S (NGC Black Slab) benefits from sparkling luster, but as...
806The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$425.00
1884-S PCGS AU-55.
Smithereen's Collection. Possibly the most famous of "condition rarities" of the Morgan dollar series, 1884-S rates as a common coin up through XF, becomes slightly tough at AU-50, and outlandishly...
808The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$1,850.00
1884-S PCGS AU-58.
Infamous for the absurd escalation in price between AU and MS-60, an UNC-ish white 1884-S often fills the bill for the Morgan dollar collector unwilling to spend thousands of dollars on a two-point...
895The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$1,050.00
1884-S, and an 1893-O, both NGC AU-55.
Particularly expensive in UNC grade, this pair of better Morgan dollars may represent exceptional value at the AU-55 grade level assigned by NGC. 1884-S features much the exhilarating quality of...
896The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$500.00
1884-S and 1886-O, both NGC AU-55.
Clem Stevens Collection. Famed condition rarities in the dollar series, both jump into considerable expense at any mint-state level, and collectors frequently purchase "UNC-ish" examples to fill...
989The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$525.00
1884-S NGC AU-53, 1895-O NGC F-12, and an 1896-O NGC AU details.
Mike Wrinkle Collection. 1884-S has the famous "look" seemingly always seen for the date, with some edge luster, but dull, light wear on the highpoints. 1895-O will seem a trifle pale at first...
990The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$1,300.00
1884-S ICG AU-58.
The date is legendary, of course, for being worth only a few bucks in XF grades... but thousands of dollars in just MS-60. It is always a little difficult to interpolate a proper bid for such...
759The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$481.00
1884-S, 1893, and a 1904-S PCGS XF-45.
The nicely circulated XF-45 grade level eases much pain of obtaining these much better dates in the silver dollar series, since they become drastically more expensive at MS-60 and above. Some luster...
879The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$380.00
1884-S NGC AU-55.
Olive-grey patina enshrouds Liberty's portrait and evenly covers the reverse, and that results in a subdued, low-contrast appearance. Substantial luster remains, and under a bright light, appears to...
662The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$1,500.00
1884-S PCGS AU-58.
1884-S has the dubious distinction of being worth an affordable sum at AU-50, then rising astronomically to a financial level twenty-five times higher at just MS-60. Outrageous! It is one of...
781The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$2,100.00
1884-S/S VAM-3 NGC AU-58.
From the standpoint of actual wear, this 1884-S is about as close to mint-state as a silver dollar can possibly get, since there seems to be no metal actually displaced from circulation rub, and the...
602The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$150.00
1884-S AU.
1884-S is notorious as a common coin in circulated grades that takes a large leap in value at the AU, then skyrockets in MS-60 and above. This tin-grey example displays excellent definition and...
664The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$425.00
1884-S NGC AU-55.
Limited visibility of mint luster probably pays the larger role in the grade assignment of AU-55 by NGC, as there is practically no wear apparent outside of very mild rub on the high points. Warm...
773The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$290.00
1884-S ANACS AU-55.
Very lustrous and essentially white. An accurately graded coin with a better than average strike.
774The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$1,450.00
1884-S AU-58++.
Anyone who collects Morgan dollars in Mint State knows full well that the 1884-S is one of the very most difficult issues to locate without evidence of circulation. Such evidence may take the form of...
800The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$200.00
1884-S ANACS AU-50.
Rolling original mint luster can be seen on both the obverse and reverse of this tougher date Morgan Dollar. There is very little wear and few marks for the grade.
663The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$1,000.00
1884-S AU-58.
Only faint signs of circulation are evident on this still very lustrous San Francisco issue. It is, perhaps, the ideal collector coin as examples graded any higher quickly increases the value by...
664The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$2,400.00
1884-S MS-63.
A crimson iridescence copiously graces this scarce San Francisco issue. It may have been subjected to a light cleaning as evidenced by a filmy aspect that is seen when tilting the piece under a light...
845The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$600.00
1884-S AU-58++.
An extremely elusive date starting in About Uncirculated condition and escalating in the ascending Uncirculated grade levels. Magnificent brilliance glistens from highly lustrous surfaces making an...
773The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$0.00
1884-S MS-60+.
A hard to encounter date in grades About Uncirculated and higher. The Eagle's breast feathers display more prominent details than the usually observed specimens in this grade. The ticks and scuffs...
