Owner's Comments

Completing a trio of Philadelphia mint coins. This Morgan shows terrific cartwheel luster on her blast white obverse and her reverse is nicely toned with some majestic hues of color popping out. She is also very well struck and CAC approved, but my favorite add to the story of this coin is where I found her - She came to me from Northern Nevada Coins out of their Carson City store literally right across the street from the Carson City mint - My favorite store across the street from my favorite mint - run by one of my Mentors in the business Alan Rowe - If you have not had the opportunity to visit his store in Carson City it is worth every penny to do so and I highly recommend it - Thank you Northern Nevada Coins - at a grade of MS65 by PCGS with the green bean CAC approval sticker on her - and housed in a gen 1.2 "Rattler" holder she resides in our PCGS population report published December 1st, 1989 - with 584 - 1888 coins sharing the same grade, with only 19 graded higher at MS66 and a lone coin above that at MS67, she would be very tough to improve upon.
