NGC Certified Key Date (1893 S) Morgan Among Highlights In Upcoming Heritage Sale

NGC - An 1893-S Morgan silver dollar is being offered in the February Long Beach auction.

Many excellent examples of classic vintage American coins certified by Numismatic Guaranty Corporation® (NGC®) are being offered in the Long Beach Expo US coins Signature Auction. Presented by Heritage Auctions, the sale takes place February 20-23, 2020.

One particularly exciting coin is an 1893-S Morgan dollar graded NGC MS 62. Part of a series-low circulation strike mintage of 100,000 coins, the 1893-S is the most challenging of all Morgan dollars to acquire in Mint State condition. Most of the Uncirculated examples come from a single hoard of about two dozen Uncirculated 1893-S Morgans that were surprisingly found mixed in with a bag of newly minted 1894-S dollars.
