Silver Dollar-Morgan
Annals At Phoenix Collection. Sensational eye-appeal earns the Scotsman Cataloger's Choice Award right off the bat for a Morgan dollar generally considered rather common, but not so with such astounding color. Clearly extracted from album placement after decades of toning, both sides display concentric Crayola colors that almost defy description. Beginning at the obverse rim, crimson-magenta quickly evolves into chartreuse, yellow, sea-green, turquoise-blue and violet-grey toning. Reverse colors differ to surprising degree, beginning with deep ocean-blue, midnight, cinnamon-red, and almond-orange. On a technical basis, the coin features a moderately successful strike and luxuriously bold luster.

Lot #334 - 1853 PCGS MS-64+ CAC
Hammer: $1,450
Gold Dollars-Liberty Head
1853 is a year replete with a nice variety of type coins, most of them approachable including the 1853 gold dollar. Here is an enchanting example that has all the makings of a gem, but at a much more affordable price given the "plus" grade assessed by PCGS. Opulent, velvety sheen and a delightful strike contribute to visual appeal, the only detriment (that the cataloger could find) being a few trivial hairlines sweeping across the portrait.
