NGC graded Proof 55
. Only 880 minted. Popular
key date. Even gray toning with reflective surfaces. Mint
records show that 12,000 business strike Morgan Dollars
were delivered in 1895, although not a single example
dated 1895 has surfaced. Either all 12,000 coins were
stored at the Mint and melted in later years, or the coins
delivered were dated 1894. Regardless of which, if either,
of these theories are correct, the lack of business strike
1895 Morgan Dollars has driven Proofs of this date to the
pinnacle of scarcity and desirability in today's expanded
hobby and rare coin portfolio allocation. Without a doubt,
the Proof 1895 in this Lot is the key to the extensive and
widely collected Morgan Silver Dollar series which ran from
1878 until 1921. The present lot offers a well struck, rela-
tively damage-free quality representative whose surfaces
retain their mirrors somewhat as light strikes the surface at
different angles. Light marks point to it being in circulation
for a year or two, perhaps longer since in most parts of the
country, Silver Dollars were used much by the public. Inter-
esting light to medium gray toning is seen at all angles with
sharp devices throughout. Proof 1895 Silver Dollars were
boldly struck as a rule, with no outwardly weak areas. We
foresee elevated bidder demand for this lightly circulated
yet still very appealing Proof 55. (
