1898 PF-50. 1898 PF-50.
Lot Title: 1898 PF-50.
Description: A faint hue of copper tone graces each side of this slightly off-white Proof Morgan dollar. The scant supply of tiny abrasions, and some friction encircling the fields, confirm only a very brief stint in circulation. Obvious cameo contrast is equally visible on both sides, and it is possible that this coin left the dies with Ultra Cameo contrast. Many astute collectors would prefer a very slightly circulated example like this over one in the lower “select” levels that is likely to be hairlined.

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: $900.00
High Estimate: $1,000.00

949The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$475.00
1898 NGC MS-66.
Emphatic sharpness is one of the earliest indicators of very high quality for a coin that is not rare in gem grades, but shows some separation from truly common dates at MS-66. Entirely blast-white,...
923The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$450.00
1898 PCGS MS-66 (green label).
Broadband internet is all the rage today, but broad-band luster has been around a lot longer, as exemplified by the great big huge booming bands of cotton white that sparkle through the fields of this...
712The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$650.00
Roll of 1898 Morgan dollars, Uncirculated.
Acquired by the consignor at an original cost of just $75 seems like a bargain today, and they were likely picked up during a long era when "three times face" was the rule of thumb for silver. These...
839The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$575.00
1898 PCGS MS-66 CAC.
While not bland (how can an original MS-66 dollar be bland?), the obverse displays almost mundane eggshell-white patina, illuminated by an attractive, but not flashy sweep of amber-gold tone along the...
653The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$150.00
1898 NGC MS-65.
Frothy silver surface texture provides terrific satiny appeal, consistently distributed throughout. Some trivial bagmarks on Liberty's lower jaw provide the primary grade determinant.
1014The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$390.00
1898 PCGS MS-66.
A shimmering, shining frosty-grey Morgan dollar that features sharp details and very light carbon flecks. While Liberty's cheek has a fresh, clean appearance, the fields are doubly so, showing no...
850The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$1,400.00
Seven 1898 NGC MS-65.
This amazingly toned dollar group presents a visual treat ranging from shades of magnificent magenta to delightful peripheral burnt orange. Each specimen has very few imperfections afflicting...
854The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$0.00
1898 NGC MS-65.
Enhancing blushes of rougelike hues adorn the satiny surfaces, while an enchanting blue clings to its rims. The glowing, lustrous surfaces are remarkably clear with only miniscule contact ticks, and...
