1890 $1, DCAM PR65+ DCAM Certification #16138125, PCGS #97325

CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

Only 590 proof Morgan dollars were struck in 1890, the smallest production total between 1878 and 1921. The Mint seems to have taken more trouble with the proof sets in 1890 than they did in 1889, as the coins are generally of a higher quality than the previous year. This high-end Gem exhibits razor-sharp definition on all design elements and the devices are richly frosted. The fields are deeply mirrored, creating an intense Black-on-white cameo effect when the coin is tilted in the light. The brilliant surfaces show a few hints of pale gold toning at the rims and only a few minor signs of contact are evident. Eye appeal is terrific.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.	Numismatic Rarity Numismatic Rarity converts the Survival Estimate for a particular coin into a number from 1 to 10 (with decimal increments) based on the PCGS Rarity Scale. The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity by Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.
