<B>1901 $1 MS63 PCGS.</B></I> The 1901 Morgan dollar, with a mintage of 6,962,000 circulation strikes, is plentiful in circulated grades, and even pieces in the lower Mint State range of MS60 to MS62 are readily obtainable. Higher condition examples, however, are difficult to locate. David Bowers, in his <I>Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States</B></I>, estimates that about 100 to 200 MS63 coins are known, perhaps 10 to 20 near-Gems, and maybe two to four MS65 pieces. Bowers' estimates are more or less in line with PCGS/NGC population data.<BR> The present Select examples displays bright, lustrous surfaces with a concentration of light tan-gold color at the margins. A solid strike translates into sharp definition on the design elements, including fairly good detail in the hair strands over Liberty's ear. A handful of minute obverse marks preclude a higher grade.<BR><I>From The Arnold & Harriet Collection, Part Two.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> George T.
