ABOUT UNITED STATES COINS

The Coinage Act of 1792 established the first United States Mint and authorized the issuance of legal tender coinage. However, it wasn’t until the following year that the Mint started producing copper coinage, two years before they produced the first silver coins and three years before they struck the first gold coins. Today, the United States Mint produces all of the Nation’s coinage at four different Branch Mints: Philadelphia, Denver, San Francisco and West Point. At Black Mountain Coins we’re privileged to handle many different types of United States coins, from Colonial through Modern Commemorative issues.

Rainbow-Toned 1883-O Morgan Dollar MS66+

$1,649.99

This piece has been graded by PCGS as MS 66+ and is identified with the serial number 7146.66+/25673149

ass=”pagetitle”>Rainbow-Toned Morgan Dollars…

An 1881-S Morgan Dollar graded PCGS MS67+ and bearing a price guide value of $1,100 realized $19,387… A PCGS MS65 1885-O in MS65 with a price guide listing of $250 brought $8,812.50. It’s not inflation! The drama of the prices at the recent Central States Numismatic Society Convention in Illinois was matched only by the dazzle of the coins themselves. Colorfully toned Morgan Dollars, with surfaces oxidized just enough to radiate an electrified, oversaturated version of the polychromatic patination of a fine silverware set long untouched, have always catalyzed heart rates and bidder paddles.

“Rainbow” toning can arise from prolonged exposure to any of a multitude of reactive environments. Wayne Miller’s Morgan and Peace Dollar Textbook, the authoritative reference on the series, includes several color plates illustrating spectacular examples. The most vividly hued Morgan Dollars, like the 1883-O pictured above, are those which were toned as a result of being stored in the sulfur-rich canvas bags (each containing 1,000 pieces) used by the United States Mint. The enormous outputs demanded by the Bland-Allison Act resulted in large quantities of coins – most notably San Francisco issues from the early years of the series – remaining untouched in government vaults for decades. The release of the Continental Bank Hoard in 1982 spurred interest by bringing many choice pieces to the market. The “textile” pattern seen on the face of some pieces mirrors the thickly woven fabric of the bag.

More complex, geometric patterns arise from long-term storage against the folded, sulfur-rich ends of a paper coin roll. A PCGS MS66+ 1888-O was famously featured on the poster for a Mid-America Coin Auctions sale in 1988. In 2014, it realized $20,562.50, still a record price for any example of the date.    –   By Kyle Clifford Knapp – August 1, 2022  – PCGS
