Lot #697 - 1892-CC NGC MS-63+
Silver Dollar-Morgan
VAM-14A, and one could not ask for a more exemplary example of the variety as it offers exactly the sequence of die cracks as seen in the VAM guide, as well as two spikes on the nose. Damaged dies may explain why Carson City struck this issue typically with more shallow depth than usual and isolated softness just above the ear is one characteristic. That said, eye-appeal exceeds expectations of a choice example as the reverse displays rather astonishing yolk-orange, sea-green and coral-blue hues.

Morals And Liberty Collection. Kagin-3 (R.5). As with the contemporary 20-dollar pieces the predominant feature is an oversimplified depiction of Pike's Peak, replaced later by the imitative Liberty head obverse. This is an impressive coin despite very fair circulation due to lovely, original crimson-orange toning that lurks within protected areas, most prominently around the reverse periphery. While the foliage seen at the foot of the mountain shows fairly intricate details, the broader ledges seen on the mountain itself have lost the finest details to modest rub. Mild wear on the eagle also flattens out the upper edge of each wing and the talons.

I have to admit, this one won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but you will have to admit that it’s pretty darn cool! The center has a precious orangey marquise coral cabochon. There is a freeform, bezel set fossilized ammonite stone and the piece is completed with a elongated cabochon identified as rutilated quartz. None of the stones have indications of polymers or dyes, Stone Group Laboratories report #240827R-SJ. This piece has a pin on the back and also opens so it can be added to chain. Dimensions 4" x 1.5", 26.2 dwt.
