<B>1891 $1 MS65 PCGS.</B></I> The 1891 was not well represented in the Treasury Department releases of the 1962-1964 era, but that does not mean that it is a rare date in Mint State. On the contrary, it is common (at least in the lower grades), a fact that is due to the Federal Reserve's release of several thousand coins in the mid-to-late 1950s and early 1960s. Despite the plethora of BU, Select, and Choice quality examples in today's market, collectors will find that Gems are surprisingly elusive. In addition to smooth, minimally abraded surfaces, this coin displays sharp striking definition that is anything but common for the issue. Richly frosted and untoned, this piece is clearly one of the "sharply struck, frosty, lustrous coins" that Bowers (1993) opines are "few and far between, especially in higher levels." Population: 85 in 65, with a mere three finer (1/08).<BR><I>From The Jimmy G. PCGS Registry Collection of Morgan Dollars with Varieties.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> George T.
