Historical Context
-
Released during the post–Bland–Allison Act era, where silver dollar mintages responded to legislation and bullion flows
-
Many were later melted under the Pittman Act (1918), making surviving Mint State examples scarce; PCGS estimates less than 10% of original mintages remain in MS grades
Grading & Rarity
-
Grade: PCGS MS63 — Mint State with moderate contact marks but overall appealing surfaces.
-
Rarity: PCGS estimates roughly 6,000–10,000 examples at MS‑63 grade
