1900-O $1, PL MS65PL Certification #06206669, PCGS #7267

This coin upgraded the set for the first time in over a year and it was only due to the PL designation and the CAC certification - so not a bump in points, but certainly an upgrade in the look and quality of the coin. She too came from a Heritage auction and represents the sole example of a "PL" Proof Like designation currently in this Date set. She has an extremely well struck obverse - paired with a similarly struck reverse - her proof like surfaces accentuate very minimal bags marks enough to prevent her from a loftier grade (at least at the time) - still graded MS65PL by PCGS while still housed proudly in a first generation 1.2 "Rattler" and displaying the CAC green bean seal of approval - According to our PCGS population report published December 1st, 1989 - there were just 24 - 1900-O PL coins in the same grade with absolutely NONE graded higher - making this coin another Top Pop coin for the set and likewise unimprovable in her original housing.

In 2005, PCGS determined that all 1896-O, 1900-O and 1902-O Silver Dollars with so-called "Micro o" mintmarks were counterfeit. This announcement was based on the discovery that all three dates shared common die markers.
