***Auction Highlight*** 1901-p Morgan Dollar $1 Graded Select Unc By USCG. Up for Auction is The scarcest Philadelphia Minted Morgan in uncirculated Condition, The 1901-p. A Major Rarity This Fine. The 1901 Morgan dollar is an elite condition rarity. Despite a mintage in excess of 6.9 million coins, the date is scarce in Mint State, rapidly decreasing in availability at each ascending grade level. It is believed that most of the coins not released into circulation at the time of issue were destroyed after 1918 under the terms of the Pittman Act. For most collectors, the finest 1901 Morgan dollars collectible are in About Uncirculated condition. The rarity of the 1901 Morgan dollar in high grade is not at all overstated. This ms62+ example has superb reddish golden toning atop the usual satin luster. The strike is a trifle soft on the eagle's breast feathers but is bold elsewhere. To the unaided eye, the coin appears a grade point finer, but a loupe reveals a few faint marks that affirm the MS62+ designation. We look forward to this coin's sale with great anticipation. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
