1880-S MS-66 DPL NGC.
The satiny reflective fields of this Gem Morgan dollar encircle crisp and fully brilliant central devices, frosted and nicely struck throughout. The obverse rim displays a halo of rich iridescence dominated by warm sunset orange, with fiery crimson and lively electric blue making an appearance. If anything, the reverse halo is even bolder and deeper than that of the obverse. Here the dominant shades are rich crimson and sunset orange, with violet and electric blue afterthoughts. This brightly toned Morgan really “pops” when viewed in a bold light source. The central brilliance and sharpness of detail are amply offset by the colorful peripheries. Housed in an old-time “fatty” NGC holder. Though somewhat plentiful in high grades, see below, we imagine that not many of the NGC-certified examples of this date and grade – or finer – have the eye appeal and inherent beauty of this brightly toned Gem! A certain coterie of collectors enjoys their Morgan dollars with bright and original toning, and we expect they will be out in force to capture this prize at bidding time.

NGC Census: 105; 20 finer within the DPL designation (MS-68 DPL finest).
