Proof Morgan Dollars
1903 $1 PR68 NGC. The glassy brilliance of the post-1901 proof Morgan dollars is on full display with this 1903 specimen, seen through a prism of dramatic toning. Green-gold outer shadings, wider on the obverse, yield to blue and violet in the interiors. The reverse shows a lighter core that is almost lavender-gray. This proof is exquisitely preserved under the patina and undeniably appealing. The issue had a low mintage of 755 proofs, and quite a few pieces still exist. Most certified examples fall between PR62 and PR66. In PR68, the 1903 proof is a great rarity. Census: 6 in 68 (1 in 68 ★), 0 finer; 3 in 68 Cameo, 0 finer (6/23).
