USAMorganDollars a spectacular hoard of 286 choice grade Morgans 1879 - 1904 every one in MS65 and graded and encapsulated by NGC and in their holders. We seldom see Morgan Dollars in MS65 and this group appears to have be a long time being formed as it includes three different styles of NGC labelling current style, previous style and earlier style. The vendor has supplied us with the Grey Sheet Bid which represents what dealers active in Morgan Dollars in the USA publish as their buying in prices and the total for the group is reported to be $31,208 which makes this an ideal investor or wholesale parcel as at the lower end of our estimate this lot could sell for less than US dealers would pay. 1879S (22), 1880S (22), 1881S (59), 1882S (22), 1883 (1), 1883O (6), 1884O (31), 1885 (7), 1885O (21), 1886 (20), 1887 (21), 1888 (2),1889 (1), 1896 (1), 1898O (6), 1899O (12), 1900 (3), 1900O (7), 1902O (2), 1904O (20) all NGC MS65

World (557 kilos, gross, should be 90,000 - 100,000 coins) from a dealer in his seventies and made up of items put to one side as superfluous to his retail operation, made interesting by the fact that the group has been accumulated over at least a 25 year period so potentially contains material not looked at for many years or decades.
