A g-4 coin of this issue in a straight graded TPG holder will run you about $3,300. |

Linked below is a gem specimen sold by StacksBowers in 2020 for $600,000. It was graded by PCGS at MS65 and has a CAC bean. Looking at the two coins, I would rather own the one for sale this week on this thread. https://auctions.stacksbowers.com/l...pcgs-cac-oghThe Larry Miller specimen is about the most unattractive gem 93-S imho.

This one is 63CAC My old eyes must've read 65 rather than 63 in the title. I finally hit my 60's, too...  Yes - this is better than a 63 I agree. So did CAC apparently.

The Coronet coin (ex; Jack Lee, et al.) was a PCGS MS67 and that coin sold for over $1m back in 2018 to a private buyer.
The current finest set at PCGS is the D. L. Hansen set which has a MS65 toner.
PCGS has only certified 20 total examples at MS63 or higher, so yes, I consider that a conditional rarity!

The Antelope Valley specimen handled by Barry Stuppler was on par with the Jack Lee specimen imho. Also this example didn't have the oxydation spot in the cheek that the Jack Lee example had. Without having seen either coin in hand, the Antelope Valley MS65 can be argued to be finer than the Jack Lee specimen at MS67. The Jack Lee MS67 specimen can be seen here: https://coins.ha.com/itm/morgan-dol...ot=1&x=0&y=0The Antelope Valley coin was sold by Sotheby's and can be seen here: https://www.sothebys.com/en/auction...lot.107.html Which one do you like better? |

Even with the spot, I prefer the Jack Lee coin. To me, it has a better overall "look." I wouldn't say no to either, though.

Dream coin that should easily go for over $500K. I wouldn't be surprised if it tops $1,000.000.

Yes - this is better than a 63 I agree. So did CAC apparently. CAC did not. A Gold sticker would indicate CAC thought the coin was undergraded (at least 1 point). A Green sticker means CAC thought it was solid or high end for the assigned grade. It does appear strong for a 63. At this price/rarity it needs to be viewed in-hand.

An interesting read on the roster of high end 1893-s Morgan dollars. Interesting that Jack Lee had two outstanding sets of Morgan dollars. His Number one set included the 1893-s PCGS 67 from the Norweb collection. His number 2 set contained the PCGS 67 from the Vermeule collection. After the Norweb coin left the Jack Lee collection the owner had the bright idea of having the coin conserved. It lost its original skin and ended up in an NGC 67 holder and has since been downgraded. This leaves the Vermeule coin as the finest in existence. https://www.greysheet.com/news/stor...ilver-dollarEdited by Everest

I didn't know that about the CAC sticker colors
But the coin presented here sure is a good looking one indeed

I own 1 Morgan dollar and this is the date. Bought it a few years ago and I don't regret it. A date that will always be in demand. Of course mine in a lower grade. |

Thought this was going to cross the threshold later tonight but I guess it sold for $444,000 including the auction premium. Someone is probably happy tonight.  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS My coin e-commerce website: https://fairfaxcoins.com |
