PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 68 $1 1887 PCGS MS67 PL Earlier ex: PCGS Tour, NFL Set, and Arno Collections. What an impressive provenance for a Morgan dollar! Housed in an old green tag holder. First sold in Heritage’s 2001 FUN auction where it was sold as part of the Gregg Bingham NFL Collection, where it was described as: “A common issue in an uncommon level of preservation, this sharply impressed Superb Gem is free of even the most trivial distraction. A light overlay of silver-gray iridescence is noted throughout, but both sides radiate a uniformly brilliant finish at all angles.” PCGS 5, NGC 7. In the January 2009 FUN auction featuring the Arno Collection, this SUPERB GEM sold for $4,313 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $6,000. There are NONE FINER in the PL designation, and this coin has such a great provenance! PCGS# 7173 | ESTIMATE: $3,600+ LOT 69 $1 1887/6-O PCGS MS64 CAC Satiny mint bloom shines from all over. This well preserved overdate is quite attractive and is EXTREMELY RARE any finer. The hair curls above Liberty’s ear and the eagle’s breast feathers display the typical striking weakness, but otherwise the devices have good details and the surfaces are smooth and free of any serious marks or defects. The overdate 7/6 can be seen with a strong glass with the loop of the 6 partially visible to the right of the 7. PCGS 125, NGC 29, CAC 22. This coin was last sold in auction in October 2000 and it sold for $6,900. The last PCGS/CAC coin to sell in auction brought $6,600 in March 2018. Very rare any finer, and this coin is PQ. Anticipate strong bidding to bring this near GEM home! PCGS# 7178 | ESTIMATE: $5,500+50
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 70 $1 1887-O PCGS MS65 CAC Another date that saw a large mintage, but due to extensive circulation and/or widespread melting under the Pittman Act, this is a VERY SCARCE date in MS65, and RARE any finer, with the finest certified being a single grade point finer than the presently offered coin. A bold, brilliant luster is mostly frosty, but when rotated in a light, you do see a swirl of rolling cartwheels. The obverse of this GEM is nearly pristine, and suggest a finer grade. The reverse does show a few light bag marks, which account for the assigned grade, but do not detract from the overall high-end look; clearly this piece was hand selected for its baby smooth cheek and impressive for the date strike. PCGS 381, NGC 81, CAC43. The most recent PCGS/ CAC coin sold in auction was in the April 2016 Central States auction where one sold for $3,173. CAC-approved coins have all brought strong premiums and we do not doubt that this trend will continue here. With its superb quality cheek and good strike, we can see it bringing a record bid for the grade. PCGS# 7176 | ESTIMATE: $2,800+LOT 71$1 1887-S PCGSMS66Boldly lustrous withdistinctive reflective,semi-prooflikesurfaces. Icy smoothmirror-like fields reallydo have a ton of flashwhen rotated in alight. The devices arefrosty and well struck--with crisp definitionof Liberty’s hair locksand eagle’s feathers;the cheek has a clean,smooth look with onlya single line that canbe seen with a glass.PCGS 31, NGC 11. The most recent coin to sell brought $4,080 in the 2018 FUN auction, but for the prior two years, thefour PCGS coins that sold brought between $5,170 and $6,463. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $6,000, andkeep in mind that only five coins are finer at PCGS and the finest to ever sell in auction was the toned MS66+ in our JanuaryRegency Auction 25, that brought $28,200, and the untoned NGC MS67 Ex Eliasberg, sold for $30,550 in April 2014.Clearly this coin ranks among the finest available to Collector’s, and we anticipate this GEM bringing a strong bid from theadvanced collector.PCGS# 7180 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+ 51
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 72 $1 1888 PCGS MS67 Ex. Cajun Collection. NONE ARE GRADED FINER at PCGS! A strong, swirling, radial cartwheel luster blooms with brilliance on both sides of this SUPERB GEM. A pale dusting of pearly-gold iridescent toning gently clings to the surfaces. Under close examination, we do see some accents of die rust at the rims. Showing a bold central definition to the details, this coin has a very pleasing overall eye appeal. PCGS 48, NGC 89. None are finer at PCGS. Generally selling in the $4,000 to $6,000 range since 2014, the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $5,000. What a great opportunity to acquire one of the highest graded 1888 Morgan dollars. PCGS# 7182 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+ LOT 73 $1 1888-O PCGS MS66+ CAC TIED FOR FINEST PCGS GRADED 1888-O Morgan! A strong, bold, brilliant satin mint frost blooms with intense cartwheels on both sides. Extremely well struck for the date and very eye appealing. PCGS 381, NGC 49, CAC 63. There are 38 graded MS66+ at PCGS, and NONE finer! The most recent example to sell was in our Regency Auction XXIV (December 2017) for $4,700 and this SUPERB GEM realized $7,050 in February 2014. A remarkable opportunity for any collector working on a top ranking Morgan set! PCGS# 7184 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+52
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 74 $1 1888-O DOUBLED DIE OBVERSE. PCGS AU58 CAC A GEM AU, “super slider” example of the Hot Lips variety, one of the most sought after varieties in the Morgan dollar series, even garnering placement in the Guide Book of United States Coins. As the moniker implies, the boldest evidence of the doubled die is at Liberty’s lips, (as well as at the nose and chin). Last sold in the Heritage’s November 2004 auction of the Rafael Romero Collection, where it was described in part: “The bright surfaces are essentially untoned, and display sharply struck design elements, except for softness in the hair over Liberty’s ear. Remarkably clean surfaces show just a few minor contact marks and luster grazes on Liberty’s cheek and neck, and in the adjacent field.” PCGS 61, NGC 21, CAC 17. Only nine coins are graded finer at PCGS, the finest being graded MS62. In the above citedRomero Collection, this coin sold for $8,913. At the time, it was tied for finest certified at PCGS. Since then there have been few lower Mint State grade examples graded and sold. A 58+ CAC sold in the 2018 FUN auction for $5,280 and the sole MS62 sold in the 2017 ANA auction for $12,925. This nearly condition census piece retains a wonderful look, that in the old days before certification, would likely have been called “Uncirculated.” Worthy of a strong bid! PCGS# 7308 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+LOT 75$1 1888-S PCGSMS66The mintage of Morgandollars dropped to657,000, only thelowest output of dollarsat the San Franciscomint until 1893,and the third lowestmintage from thatfacility in the entireseries. Ranking amongthe highest graded ateither service, only ahalf dozen are finer atPCGS. A strong brilliantluster swirls alongsmooth, clean surfaces. Well struck throughout, this PQ GEM has a great eye appeal, aided by a barely visible halo of cleargold at the rims.PCGS 32, NGC 13. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $7,000 and the most recent example to sell in auction realized$4,560 (the P.F.M. coin is cleaner and has a bolder radial luster) and another, sold as part of the JC Collection in that same salerealized $7,200. Only six coins are graded higher, 3 in 66+ and 3 in 67. The last 67 sold in our May 2016 Regency AuctionXVII for $24,675. An underrated date in this high a grade and worthy of serious consideration from any advanced collector.PCGS# 7186 | ESTIMATE: $5,500+ 53
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 76 $1 1889 PCGS MS66+ CAC SUPERB and totally frosty brilliant with a strong luster throughout. A pearly/ satiny sheen blooms vividly on both sides. Sharply struck and wonderfully eye appealing, this coin is “oh so close” to an even higher grade! PCGS 466, NGC 207, CAC 94. In 66+ there are 51 at PCGS and 9 at NGC, with only six coins finer. We believe there to be some duplication at the 66+ level in hopes of getting a 67. In the 2018 FUN auction, a non-CAC coin sold for $3,600, and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $3,750. Anything finer is a $16,000+ coin. A superb coin that will delight any Morgan dollar aficionado! PCGS# 7188 | ESTIMATE: $3,000+ OUR ESTIMATES The estimates you see published in this catalog are based on HAMMER. Keep in mind that a coin could be either low or high end for the grade, have stunning color or be dull, all of which radically affect a coin’s value. Yes, there can be huge price differences within a grade, and we offer estimates as a guide so Collector’s can have a better idea of value. One thing we will never do is offer low ball estimates in order to claim stronger sales. These published estimates represent what Legend Rare Coin Auctions determines to be an approximate high wholesale value for the coin. The numbers are based upon current market values, similar trades, auction prices, published prices, and a consideration of the coin’s quality. There is no guarantee that the estimated prices are minimums or are exactly what you can expect to get if you attempt to resell them wholesale. We always advise you to view the coins you are interested in and calculate what you’ll pay using as much information as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us.

PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARSLOT 77$1 1889-CC PCGS MS63One of the classic KEY DATE Morgan dollars that is indemand in all grades. Only 350,000 were struck and thevast majority of this date either went into circulation orwere melted en masse as a result of the Pittman Act of1918. While many dates were heavily represented in theGSA holdings of the early 1970s, only a single coin camefrom the vast quantities of CC dollars from that holding.Despite the rumors of three bags from other sources, aftera look at the PCGS and NGC Population figures, theselikely are just rumors.The MS63 piece in the P.F.M. is about as high a grade asmost Collector’s could even hope to obtain for their sets.Dave Bowers calls the MS63 grade the “optimal collectorgrade” in his Red Book of Morgan dollars. The presentcoin displays a good amount of detail from a bold strike.Soft, satiny mint luster blooms on both sides impartinga bold visual effect for the assigned grade. A few teenyscuffs are noted on either side, and account for the grade,but do not detract from the general eye appeal.PCGS 96, NGC 65. We think that there is someduplication in the population reports, inflated byresubmissions hoping for a higher grade. The majorityof those finer are graded MS64, in fact, only two havegraded finer than MS64 at PCGS, a single MS65 and themonster Eliasberg-Jack Lee MS68. The current PCGS PriceGuide value in MS63 is $51,500 and the most recentexample sold in the 2018 FUN auction for $42,011; justprior to that, we sold one in our December 2017 RegencyAuction XXIV for $49,938. If you are still looking for aCHOICE 89-CC for your set, this is a great chance tofinally end your search!PCGS# 7190 | ESTIMATE: $40,000+ 55
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 78 $1 1889-O PCGS MS66+ After 30+ years of certification, this lone coin is the FINEST graded at PCGS. One look and you will fully agree. This coin has been to CAC and we fully disagree with them not beaning it. We do not see the reason. You name it, this coin has it. The surfaces are as pristine as you will ever see. There are practically no microscopic marks that violate this coins awesome satiny surfaces. A thicker satiny like luster beams from allover. Both sides are untoned. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and are well struck. Her cheek is perfect- something you do not hardly ever see. The eye appeal is crazy great! PCGS 12, NGC 1. This piece is the only PCGS MS66+ graded, NONE have been graded finer. There is not even a Collector’s Universe Value for an MS66+ (MS66 is only $22,500). We can see this coin possibly setting a record price. The quality and eye appeal are certainly worth of that! If you are building the FINEST set of Morgans, this coin is a must have! PCGS# 7192 | ESTIMATE: $25,000+56
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 79 $1 1889-S PCGS MS66 CAC WOW! What an incredible SUPERB GEM 89-S. One of the lower mintage outputs from the western-most mint, this date does generally come nicely struck and lustrous, however abraided. The P.F.M. collector hand selected this amazing coin for its smooth, clean cheek, bold, blazing mint luster, and strong devices. Well struck devices show only the slightest weakness at the tips of Liberty’s curls. Blast white silver surfaces show not even a trace of tone and the eye appeal is as fresh today as it was when it came off the dies.PCGS 92, NGC 32, CAC 20. This coin is ex FUN 2004 auction (and still housed in the OGH), where it realized $4,830. Thecurrent PCGS Price Guide value is $4,500 and the most recent CAC-approved MS66 sold in April 2016 for $5,170. Only 11 coins are finer, 10 in 66+ and a single MS67--the last 66+ sold in July 2017 for $8,813. Here is another coin that could see a run away price when it crosses the block! Good luck! PCGS# 7194 | ESTIMATE: $4,500+LOT 80$1 1890 PCGS MS65+Despite a mintage of16.8 million pieces,this date is VERYRARE in GEM. Clearlythe majority of themintage was eithermelted down duringthe Pittman Act or justcirculated extensivelywith few Collector’ssaving any. Regardlessof the reason, thereare a mere five coinsgraded finer at PCGS.Brilliant frosty mintluster blooms on bothsides of this well preserved GEM.PCGS 796, NGC 309. In MS65+ PCGS has only graded 61 pieces, and five finer. This coin was the first MS65+ sold in auctionwhen it brought $4,113 back in August 2013, when there was only one finer in the population report. Today, the current PCGSPrice Guide is $1,800. Worthy of a strong bid, a 66 would cost around $10,000.PCGS# 7196 | ESTIMATE: $1,800+ 57
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 81 $1 1890 PCGS MS65 DMPL Tied at the top of the population for the date in DMPL. This flashy, reflective GEM has bold 8” mirrors that beam with blinding clarity. George Morgan’s sharply struck devices are crisply defined and fully frosted. A touch of gold at the rims adds to the superb look. PCGS 10, NGC 2. NONE ARE FINER. The last one to sell realized $9,400 in the 2017 ANA auction, and before that, one sold for $10,012 in the 2013 FUN auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $15,000. It is highly doubtful a nicer example will appear in auction anytime soon, so do not let this coin slip your grasp! PCGS# 97197 | ESTIMATE: $9,000+ LOT 82 $1 1890-CC TAIL BAR. PCGS MS64+ CAC From our July 2013 Regency Auction, lot 261, where it was described as: “This is a real borderline MS65! The surfaces have only a few small lines/ invisible ticks/frost breaks, while a strong luster shows off traces of light semi-prooflike mirrors. Both sides are ORIGINAL white and are not dull or dipped out. Miss Liberty and the details are frosty and have exceptional strikes, of course the tailbar is frosty and full. The eye appeal is great!” Of course, the Tailbar is one of the more popular Morgan varieties, so named for the die gauge that connects the eagle’s tail to the wreath. Very rare in such a high grade, with only a handful finer. PCGS 88, NGC 51, CAC 16. Only six of these are 64+, and only five coins are finer. This coin realized $9,200 in 2013 and is the only MS64+ to sell in auction. If you are building a great Morgan set, this coin would make a wonderful addition! We are so pleased to be able to help place this near-GEM into another world-class cabinet of Morgan dollars. Again, we do expect strong bidding when it crosses the block and any MS65 is going to cost at least $25,000! Good luck! PCGS# 87198 | ESTIMATE: $7,500+58
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 83 $1 1890-CC PCGS MS65 PL Strong, reflective luster beams from all over with an impressive eye appeal. Boldly embossed devices show a wealth of details with razor sharp definition. A hint of iridescent tone can be seen in places, but overall the surfaces are devoid of any color. The cheek is very clean and frosty, standing out very nicely from the clear, deep, beaming mirrors. PCGS 16, NGC 5. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $7,050 and there are records that go into the five figures. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $9,000 and there is only a single MS66 PL finer at PCGS. A great coin for any advanced collection! PCGS# 7199 | ESTIMATE: $7,000+LOT 84$1 1890-O PCGSMS66Despite a 10.7 millionpiece mintage, the1890-O is VERY RAREin MS66 grade!

Thedefinition of the detailsis full and crisp withnice, frosty devicesand a clean cheek.Likewise, the fields arefree of any distracting marks or ticks and both sides are framed by a subtle halo of golden tone.PCGS 29, NGC 5. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $6,000 in the 2018 FUN auction and the current PCGSPrice Guide value is listed at $8,500. Only a single MS66+ is finer and it has never appeared in auction, making this one of thefinest that will appear in the market and nicer than most. A great opportunity for any collector of high-end Morgan dollars toadd this SUPERB coin to their sets!PCGS# 7200 | ESTIMATE: $5,500+ 59
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 85 $1 1890-O PCGS MS65 DMPL Brilliant, icy mirrored fields show off a bold reflection and a vibrant cartwheel luster. The central devices are well struck, but we do note some peripheral weakness at the stars; the design elements are very frosty and do stand out from the mirrored surroundings. There is some light iridescent toning on the obverse, but it does NOT obscure the clarity of the mirrors! PCGS 20, NGC 8. EXTREMELY RARE any finer! There were three coins sold in 2017--ranging from $5,640 to $7,638. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $8,000. Only three coins have graded finer at PCGS, and NONE have sold in auction. PCGS# 97201 | ESTIMATE: $5,500+ LOT 86 $1 1890-S PCGS MS66 PL CAC Tied for FINEST PL graded, and there are NO MS66 DMPLs graded. A rich, icy mirror like luster beams in the fields and they reflect like a freshly polished piece of chrome. Ms. Liberty and the details are sharply struck, with fully crisp definition in her hair curls and eagle’s feathers. Strong, booming luster that rolls along both sides with strong eye appeal. PCGS 4, NGC 1, CAC 5. This coin is ex Holman Family Collection, sold in November 2003. The most recent example to sell in auction brought $9,106 in the 2014 ANA auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $8,250 and it would not shock us if this coin brought more! It is a very high-end GEM worthy of any high ranking set of Morgan dollars. PCGS# 7203 | ESTIMATE: $7,500+60
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 87 $1 1891 PCGS MS65 Here is a date that is fairly common in grades up to and including MS64, but RARE in MS65 (excessively so any finer). Brilliantly frosty with a bold luster, this well struck GEM is a very high grade survivor of the date. PCGS 209, NGC 107. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $2,700 and the mostrecent example sold for $1,851 in February 2018. Extremely rare any finer, there are only 14 coins finer at PCGS. With most Collector’s unable to acquire a higher grade piece, that puts lots of demand on MS65s. Why not add this attractive Gem to your collection! PCGS# 7204 | ESTIMATE: $1,800+LOT 88$1 1891-CC PCGSMS66A very rare date insuch a lofty state ofpreservation, the91-CC is usually seenin MS63 and MS64grades.

PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 89 $1 1891-O PCGS MS65 DMPL CAC EX JACK LEE. We unhesitatingly pronounce this to be the FINEST 1891-O DMPL that exists. We can’t imagine another coin even being remotely close in quality. Plus, this coin was from the greatest Morgan Collection ever assembled- the Jack Lee set. He spent years using his unlimited resources to find the vest best coins. One look and you can immediately see why this coin was chosen for his once in a lifetime collection. At first glance, this coin reminds you of a Proof. The mirrors are a full 8” deep. The mirrors also have great clarity, are amazingly clean, and are highly reflective. When you twirl the coin, the mirrors look like a freshly made sheet of glass. There is a super light hint of original color-NOT haze spread evenly all over. The contrast is strong. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and have thick frost. Her cheek is full GEM + and has not even the slightest marks/lines. The eye appeal is memorable and awesome! PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 2. Back in 06/2010 a PCGS MS65 DMPL (NO CAC) sold for $57,500. This is quite possibly your only chance to buy the best 1891-O DMPL that exists for a very long time. It’s got everything a Morgan Collector could dream about: quality, rarity, pedigree, and eye appeal. It is certainly more than worthy of the very best Morgan Collection!

PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 90 $1 1891-S PCGS MS66 CAC What an incredible, High-end GEM! Bold, brilliant, cartwheel luster rolls along both sides accenting the sharply struck and frosty devices. A dusting of the most subtle, clear gold can be seen on both sides and the reverse shows hints of light reflectivity aiding in a very high-end eye appeal. PCGS 94, NGC 20, CAC 35. The most recent example sold for $4,230 in the 2017 ANA auction. Prior to 2016, CAC approved examples all sold for $5,000+. Today, the PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $3,750, which is still too low for a CAC-approved example and we anticipate this PQ GEM will sell for a very strong price! PCGS# 7210 | ESTIMATE: $3,800+LOT 91$1 1892 PCGS MS65PLEx. R. Dier and ArnoCollections.Tied for the FINEST PLat PCGS.

Thecheek is clean and freeof any distracting marks and in general the mirrored fields are icy smooth and showing a brilliant luster throughout! The eyeappeal is truly special!PCGS 4, NGC 8. When this coin sold in January 2009 as part of the Arno Collection, it realized $13,800. None are gradedfiner at PCGS. Clearly, the PCGS Price Guide of $6,000 is too low. A wonderfully pedigreed piece like this will be a greataddition to any high-end Morgan dollar collection, be sure to take a look and prepare to bid aggressively!PCGS# 7213 | ESTIMATE: $8,000+ 63

There are five coins graded finer at PCGS, with the finest being a 67+. The most recent PCGS MS66 to sell in auction was CAC approved and sold for $24,675 in our September 2016 Regency Auction, and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $31,700.

PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 93 $1 1892-O PCGS MS65 CAC While the 92-O is notoriously one of the poorest produced New Orleans mint issues with very weak strikes in the central portions of the design. This remarkable GEM is noted for its boldly struck devices, especially at the central portions of the design, above Liberty’s ear and the eagle’s breast feathers. A bold, swirling, vibrant luster graces the obverse and reverse. The cheek is smooth and free of any distracting marks or lines, and only a few teeny contact marks can be seen on either side, but none detract from the overall superb eye appeal.PCGS 258, NGC 78, CAC 24. The most recent MS65 PCGS/CAC sold for $6,169 in the 2016 ANA auction. Fewer than two dozen coins are graded finer at PCGS, and only one coin is CAC finer.

PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 94 $1 1892-S PCGS MS65 While the mintage of 1,200,000 is not tiny, the number of Mint State survivors is. Clearly the 92-S was not saved in any quantity at time of issue, and whatever coins that were placed into circulation remained for many years. Your typical survivor tends to be in VF-AU grades, and whatever might have been held in government vaults were melted under the authority of the Pittman Act of 1918 that mandated the conversion of $350,000,000 silver dollars into bullion. Any Mint State survivors exist by pure happenstance. One look at the PCGS and NGC combined populations, and you will see how truly rare this date is: in Mint State grades combined, 114 coins have been graded, from MS60 to MS68. The presently offered MS65 is dusted with a clear silvery-white and pale gold iridescence that is highlighted by a bold, satiny mint frost. Sharply struck on both sides, the deals are crisp and complete. Liberty’s cheek is nice and smooth, and both sides, even when closely inspected with a strong glass, are generally free of any marks, but we note some light die grease and light lines on the reverse. PCGS 4, NGC 1. VERY RARE at this grade level, and excessively so any finer. The most recent example to sell realized $192,000 in the February 2018 Long Beach Auction. We sold a marvelous PCGS MS64 CAC for $293,750 in July 2017. Our consignor purchased this coin in October 2007. PCGS has graded just 10 coins finer, so we wish you the best of luck finding a higher grade example!

A bold, rolling cartwheel luster blooms on both sides with a sharp strike. Mostly a bold cartwheel luster with accents of PL reflectivity. A swath of golden tone can be seen on the obverse and the reverse is fully frosted. Ms. Liberty’s cheek is smooth and fully frosted with no breaks in the frost. The eye appeal is very nice. PCGS 240, NGC 82. PCGS has graded only 25 coins finer--the finest being graded MS66. The most recent MS65 graded by PCGS, brought $3,760 in a February 2018 auction and generally these have been bringing in the $4,000 range. The currentPCGS Price Guide value is listed at $4,750, and anything finer could cost into the five figures. A very nice GEM that will see stiff competition from bidders! PCGS# 7220 | ESTIMATE: $3,800+LOT 96$1 1893-CC PCGSMS64Due to the Panic of1893, the mintages ofsilver dollars droppedat all mints, the93-CC saw a mintageof 677,000, about a50% drop in outputfrom the prior year.It is a KEY date inany Mint State grade,and especially so innear gem grades. TheP.F.M. 93-CC has avibrant mint lusterthat swirls on bothsides, accenting the lightest dusting of pewter and gold. Well struck with bold details, especially well defined in the centraldevices. As might be expected at the MS64 level, there are some very minor bag marks. None are horribly distracting ontheir own and the eye appeal is nicer than many out there.PCGS 566, NGC 196. First, looking at the Population figures, there is no doubt that there are lots of duplication reportedat the services. Above MS64, the populations drop dramatically so we can only imagine how many MS64s have beenresubmitted in hopes of receiving a 65 grade. The most recent non-CAC PCGS coins sold for $12,000 (December 2017 andJanuary 2018). The current PCGS Price Guide value is $15,000 and it jumps to $31,500 in 64+ and $80,000 in 65--makingMS64 the highest grade most Collector’s could ever hope to acquire for their sets. As such we think there will be veryserious bidding from many astute Collector’s looking to finally fill this hole in their sets!PCGS# 7222 | ESTIMATE: $12,000+ 67
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 97 $1 1893-O PCGS MS64 Only 300,000 silver dollars were struck for the 93-O issue, and it is not only scarce in all grades, but it is exceptionally hard to find in such high grades, and EXTREMELY RARE any finer! The presently offered near-GEM has a very high-end look. First the satiny mint frost has a glowing, silvery sheen that enlivens the smooth surfaces. A dusting of pearly frost can be seen at certain angles and there are a few teeny ticks on the cheek and in the fields, but the eye appeal is generally nice overall. PCGS 89, NGC 29. There are only ten PCGS coins are graded finer. The most recent example sold for $10,800 in November 2017. The P.F.M. collector paid $13,800 for this coin in March 2010. The current PCGS Price Guide is $17,000 and a 64+ brought $42,300 and any 65 is a $150,000+ coin! Seems a nice 64 like the present example offers a lot of value! PCGS# 7224 | ESTIMATE: $12,000+68
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARSLOT 98$1 1893-S PCGS AU58Ex Shrike Set. The KING of the Morgan dollar series, therarest date struck for circulation, and an important KEYdate in ANY GRADE. Only 100,000 were struck, thelowest of all where surviving coins are known (there are12,000 1895 Philadelphia mint issues listed as havingbeen coined, but none of these are known).Only light friction on the surfaces keep this lustrous piecefrom a full Mint State grade. Under a strong glass we notesome very fine lines and a scuff or two that we describefor full disclosure. A pale light gold color can be seen onthe surfaces when the the lustrous surfaces are viewed ina light source.PCGS 13, NGC 15. This is the most recent example to sellin auction, realizing $80,500 in the 2011 FUN Auctionthat featured the Shrike Set and goin back to 2003, onlytwo other PCGS AU58s have ever sold in auction! AnyMint State coin is a six-figure coin, with the most recentMS60, an NGC coin selling for $123,375 in September2013. We think the PCGS Price Guide of $55,000 is justplain wrong. For an example of this KEY Morgan not toappear in over seven years, this is an opportunity notto be taken lightly! You can now finally upgrade yourcollection! Good luck!PCGS# 7226 | ESTIMATE: $75,000+ 69
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 99 $1 1894 PCGS MS64 CAC As the nation’s economy stagnated following the Panic of 1893, Morgan dollar mintages remained low--in fact, the Philly mint output in 1894 was limited to 110,000--only 10,000 more than the 93-S. The presently offered near-GEM has a pale gold and lavender pastel iridescence that is brought out by a remarkable cartwheel luster. Totally original surfaces show a few tiny ticks, but the eye appeal is superb for the grade! Housed in an old green tag holder. PCGS 266, NGC 119, CAC 45. In September 2010, this coin sold for $8,050 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is $9,000. We figure that there will be intense bidding to add this gem a high ranking set. PCGS# 7228 | ESTIMATE: $7,500+ LOT 100 $1 1894-O PCGS MS64 Ex. The Shrike Set. A semi-key date that is quite rare in such a lofty grade. A more than decent near-gem quality coin that has a brilliant, satiny luster that glows when rotated. Well struck, save for some minor softness in the curls and eagle’s breast feathers. Ms. Liberty’s cheek is smooth and clean, with only a small mark or two. The eye appeal is strong with just a dusting of pearly-gold iridescence. We are not entirely sure why this coin did not CAC. PCGS 358, NGC 234. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $8,750. There were two MS64s that sold in the recent 2018 FUN auction, an NGC coin that sold for $7,500 and a PCGS that brought $6,000, but previously non-CAC PCGS coins have sold in the $7,000 to $8,000 with some examples breaking the $10,000 level. If you can find a 65 it will cost you around $50,000! A wonderful coin that deserves a home in another high ranking set. PCGS# 7230 | ESTIMATE: $7,000+70
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 101 $1 1894-S PCGS MS65 The 94-S is often overlooked because of the key date issues that surround it, but it is a conditionally rare Morgan dollar issue. Pale, pearly pewter color comes out when the vivid mint bloom radiates the light. GEM quality surfaces show only the most minute of contact and none of these are in prime, focal areas of the design. PCGS 161, NGC 40. VERY RARE any finer. The most recent sold in the FUN 2018 auction for $4,560 and one sold inDecember 2017 for $5,400. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $6,250. This eye appealing GEM should see strong bidding. PCGS# 7232 | ESTIMATE: $4,000+ OUR ESTIMATES The estimates you see published in this catalog are based on HAMMER. Keep in mind that a coin could be either low or high end for the grade, have stunning color or be dull, all of which radically affect a coin’s value. Yes, there can be huge price differences within a grade, and we offer estimates as a guide so Collector’s can have a better idea of value. One thing we will never do is offer low ball estimates in order to claim stronger sales. These published estimates represent what Legend Rare Coin Auctions determines to be an approximate high wholesale value for the coin. The numbers are based upon current market values, similar trades, auction prices, published prices, and a consideration of the coin’s quality. There is no guarantee that the estimated prices are minimums or are exactly what you can expect to get if you attempt to resell them wholesale. We always advise you to view the coins you are interested in and calculate what you’ll pay using as much information as possible. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask us. We are here to help you! 71
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 102 $1 1895-O PCGS MS63 A famous, KEY DATE Morgan dollar that saw a mintage of only 350,000. Clearly the vast majority of these were put into circulation where they remained, the typical survivor is apt to be moderately to heavily worn. Mint State survivors are VERY RARE indeed! Fully CHOICE pieces like this are a dream for most Collector’s, and very rarely come around. The presently offered CHOICE Mint State coin has a bold, frosty mint luster that radiates brilliantly on both sides. A pearly sheen shows off a delicate clear gold that highlights a bold strike for the date. Subtle contact can be seen when rotated at various angles, but that is to be expected at the MS63 grade level. PCGS 19, NGC 15. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $50,400 in the 2018 FUN auction. Going back to 2000, there have only been 15 appearances of a PCGS graded MS63 95-O. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $55,000 and with only 24 coins graded finer in all grades, anything finer will cost significantly more. What a great opportunity for any advanced Morgan dollar specialist. PCGS# 7236 | ESTIMATE: $45,000+72
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 103 $1 1895-S PCGS MS65 Ranking near the top of the Population Report at PCGS, only seven coins are graded finer. Like many other dates in the 1890s, the mintages were lower than usual following the Panic of 1893 and only 400,000 Morgan dollars were coined at the western most facility. The fields show a moderate reflection amplified by a brilliant cartwheel luster. Typical to the date, there are a number of die striations seen in the fields of bothsides and the devices are crispy struck with bold definition. . Under close inspection with a glass, we note some hidden bag marks. Most Mint State graded coins came from a few bags that were released in 1942 and into the 50s; and the Redfield hoard had perhaps a full bag. Examples from those holdings often come heavily bagmarked. The present coin is of hand selected quality and boasts a bold visual appeal for the date. PCGS 38, NGC 10. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $19,000. There is a very wide range of auction results for GEM examples of this scarce date. Case in point, the most recent sold for $12,925 in the 2017 ANA auction. But goingback to 2004, most PCGS coins have sold for $15,000+ with records in 2004, 2005, 2007, and 2008 for over $25,000! This very attractive coin is well suited for any high-end collection of Morgan Dollars. It was hand selected by the PFM collector, and now will have a chance to represent this date in another carefully assembled set! Good luck! PCGS# 7238 | ESTIMATE: $14,000+LOT 104$1 1896 PCGS MS67CACThe 1896 is one ofthose dates that evenin the lofty MS67 gradeis ubiquitous, givingCollector’s a chanceto carefully selectexamples for their sets.The PFM collector didjust that! Especiallysatiny and lustrous,this untoned SUPERBGEM has a strong strikeand frosty devices thatreally captivate the eye.PCGS 225, NGC 72, CAC 71. VERY RARE any finer! The last one to sell in auction realized $2,820 (a moderately tonedexample) in our Regency Auction 25. Before that, one sold in July 2017 in our Regency Sale, for $1,938. The current PCGSPrice Guide value is $1,950. Only 28 coins are graded finer, most are in 67+ and only 2 are in 68. This SUPERB GEM willentice even the pickiest of Collector’s.PCGS# 7240 | ESTIMATE: $1,800+ 73
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 105 $1 1896-O PCGS MS64 Here is a coin that was clearly hand selected by a very fastidious collector--one look at it and you know that it is better than most seen. For the date, the strike is quite bold. Liberty’s curls and eagle’s breast feathers show only the slightest hint of weakness. The luster is frosty, displaying a pearlescent, satin glow. The devices and fields are both devoid of any serious marks or ticks. A glass does reveal a few teeny ticks and a single minor hairline along the cheekbone, all of which are taken into account by the PCGS assigned grade. The 1896-O is one of the most lackluster, poorly struck date in the entire series, and as expert Wayne Miller wrote, “the 1896-O is the rarest of all Morgan dollars in truly gem condition.” Most of the 4.9 million struck were released directly into circulation, where they were to remain for a long time. Many probably were melted in pursuant to the 1918 Pittman Act, and though a few bags were released from Treasury holdings in the 50s and 60s, they were typically in lower Mint State grades, MS60-62. PCGS 29, NGC 11. No doubt these figures include some duplication in the attempt of receiving an MS65 grade. This effort has been clearly futile, as in over 30 years of operations, combined, PCGS and NGC have graded a half dozen coins finer--Wayne Miller’s words are clearly proven by the grading statistics. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $30,000 in the 2018 FUN auction. Prior to that, one sold in November 2013 for $32,900. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $40,000. Even the Coronet Collection the #1 PCGS Hall of Fame set was also a 64 and sold in 2015 for $47,000 in our October 2015 Regency Auction XIV. Keep in mind that nothing finer has sold since 2005! This near-GEM example of this classic Morgan dollar condition rarity will certainly attract strong bidding from any advanced collector! We can see it bringing a very strong price when the the gavel falls. PCGS# 7242 | ESTIMATE: $30,000+74
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 106 $1 1896-S PCGS MS65 With a 5 million coin mintage, one might think the 96-S is a common date. However, in part to extensive circulation and wholesale melting in 1918, very few survive in higher grade Mint State. Offering an above average strike for the date, only light weakness is noted in Liberty’s hair curls and the eagle’s breast. The cheek is smooth and pleasing overall, we note only the lightest tiny ticks here and there, wholly acceptable for the assigned grade. The eye appeal is excellent.PCGS 70, NGC 14. VERY RARE any finer and we believe there is duplication in the Population Report. The last one to sell in auction brought only $8,400 in the 2018 FUN Auction. Prior to that, these were regularly selling in excess of $10,000. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $13,000 and with only 8 graded higher at PCGS, a 65+ will cost $20,000+ and certainly a 66 would cost around $75,000. An important opportunity for the advanced Morgan collector.

In the March 2005 sale of the Cajun Collection, this SUPERB coin sold for $7,590. The only PCGS.CAC coin to sell in auction for $10,869 in December 2014. Only two coins, both MS67+ have graded finer at PCGS, neither ofwhich have sold in auction. Clearly one of the FINEST known, and bound for a very high-end set!

PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 108 $1 1897-O PCGS MS64 Another important condition rarity in the 1890s, rare in the current grade, and very difficult to obtain any finer. Sharply struck on both sides, this near-GEM has a bold luster in the fields and a very frosty look on the devices. A very subtle, delicate clear gold can be seen on both the obverse and reverse in places adding to this coin’s wonderful eye appeal. It clearly was hand selected for quality and eye appeal by the P.F.M. collector. PCGS 39, NGC 26. The most recent PCGS graded example sold for $14,100 and the current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $14,000. There are two records that surpass $28,000. VERY RARE any finer! Only sixteen coins have graded finer, and they do not appear with any frequency. Bound for a high ranking set of Morgan dollars. PCGS# 7248 | ESTIMATE: $12,000+ LOT 109 $1 1897-S PCGS MS67PL The mirrors are so blinding on this GEM you really do need Ray Bans to view it! This coin has been to CAC and we are beside ourselves as to why they did not sticker it (we see no reason). Deep 4”+ mirrors are bold and beam wildly from all over. You do NOT have to imagine the mirrors. In fact, the mirrors border on full DMPL status. The mirrors exhibit remarkable clarity, cleanliness, and as we mentioned, have a nearly blinding reflection. When you twirl this coin the mirrors have a tremendous “deep dish” cartwheel look. There is strong contrast. Both sides are untoned. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck and have thick white frost. The eye appeal is jaw dropping! PCGS 4, NGC 2. The last one to sell in auction brought $19,988 02/2016. The current Collector’s Universe Value is $21,500 PFM was very picky about his Morgans, this coin was what we call a “no brainer” to be included in his set. It should be a “no brainer” to be included in ANY great Morgan Collection being built. PCGS# 7251 | ESTIMATE: $17,500+76
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 110 $1 1898 PCGS MS67 CAC A SUPERB GEM! Boasting a solid strike, full booming mint luster, and totally untoned, blast white silver surfaces this 1898 Morgan has a stone bold original look. Clearly, by some miracle, it survived so magnificently preserved, void of any serious contact and the cheek is of especially wonderful quality. PCGS 145, NGC 17, CAC 14. This coin was purchased by our consignor in the May 2004 Central States auction, where it realized a very strong $7,188. There was a record for a CAC coin in September 2013 and one for $6,325 in the 2011 FUNauction. More recently, they have sold for less, but this SUPERB GEM is worthy of any very high ranking set.

PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 112 $1 1898-S PCGS MS66 A truly handsome example of this conditionally rare issue. A strong mint brilliance shines vividly on both sides as the silver cartwheels roll along the gemmy surfaces. Remarkable in terms of strike and overall eye appeal this MS66 has a bold, defect free look. PCGS 84, NGC 11. This coin sold in the 2010 FUN auction, where our consignor purchased it for $4,600. The current Collector’s Universe value is listed at $4,050. There are a mere fifteen coins finer, most in 66+. PCGS# 7256 | ESTIMATE: $3,000+ LOT 113 $1 1899 PCGS MS66 DMPL While the 1899 is a low mintage year, with only 330,000 struck, bags were released in the 1950s and 1960s, allowing for a larger number of Mint State survivors, however, very few of these are with full DMPL surfaces. This ultra reflective, deeply mirrored GEM is tied at the apex of the popula- tion--none are graded finer. The devices are razor sharp in strike and they are boldly contrasted against the mirrored fields. The cheek and eagle are especially frosted. Both obverse and reverse display a delicate iridescent toning that adds to the impressive eye appeal. PCGS 12, NGC 8. The most recent example to sell in auction realized $5,405 in June 2017 and prior to that, a CAC approved example sold for $7,638 in the 2015 FUN auction. The current CU value is listed at $7,600 and this OGH-holdered GEM should attract strong bidding, especially when you consider NONE ARE GRADED FINER! PCGS# 97259 | ESTIMATE: $5,500+78
PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 114 $1 1899-O PCGS MS67 CAC “Minty fresh!” This beautiful Premium Quality, SUPERB GEM looks as lustrous and high-end as it did the moment it came of of the dies. For an O-mint issue, the central devices are nicely struck and frosty, while the fields are aglow with a rich satiny luster. You can tell that the P.F.M. collector hand selectedthis beauty carefully for its really high-end look! While common in grades up to MS66, this date is VERY scarce in Ms67 and extremely rare finer. PCGS 176, NGC 114, CAC 55. The most recent example to sell realized $3,995 in our December 2017 Regency Auction.This remarkable coin sold in an internet auction back in 2005.

The tiny “O” mintmark is thought to have been originally used on quarter dies, and somehow a few dies were prepared with this feature. The presently offered example is among the FINEST known, not just for VAM 4, but all Micro Os. Of the three VAMs for the variety, VAM 4 is the rarest. Very attractive and well struck, this coin has a bold, frosty mint bloom with just a touch of light gold at the peripheries. Under close examination with a strong glass, we do note a few tiny grazes, but these are totally acceptable for the assigned grade. PCGS 8, NGC 2, CAC 5. This is one of four MS64+s graded and there are only three finer at PCGS. The P.F.M. collector purchased this gem for $29,375 in June 2016. Prior to that selling, a PCGS MS64 (no + or CAC) sold for $49,938 in the 2014 FUN auction. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $27,000 but clearly this should sell for more than that.

PFM COLLECTION OF MORGAN DOLLARS LOT 122 $1 1901 PCGS MS63 What a great coin for the collector! Unlike many other dates that were held in quantity in Treasury vaults that were released in the 1940s to the 1960s. Either the vast majority of the nearly seven million coins struck went directly into circulation or the mass quantities that were stored in the Treasury vaults were melted under the orders from the 1918 Pittman Act. Either way, not counting the 1895 Proof Only issue, this is the RAREST Philadelphia Mint issue to find in Mint State. This is a fully CHOICE example. Richly lustrous, bold satiny mint frost throughout graces both sides. Minimally scuffed or marked, none of the few tiny ticks have a negative affect on the overall PQ for the grade eye appeal.

That month what happened is numismatic history: mint sewn original bags were discovered. The number of Mint State coins went from perhaps 10 to tens of thousands! Today, over fifty years after the hoard was discovered, the majority were in lower Mint State grades. Today, even in grades up to and including MS66, the 1903-O is fairly common.

One thing we will never do is offer low ball estimates in order to claim stronger sales. These published estimates represent what Legend Rare Coin Auctions determines to be an approximate high wholesale value for the coin. The numbers are based upon current market values, similar trades, auction prices, published prices, and a consideration of the coin’s quality. There is no guarantee that the estimated prices are minimums or are exactly what you can expect to get if you attempt to resell them wholesale.
