1880-S Morgan Dollar off-center error obverse

1880-S Morgan Dollar off-center error reverse

Lot 124: US 1880-S Morgan Dollar 5-10% Off-Center Error. Appearance of 10% off-center strike to the eye, yet would likely certify as a 5% to 7% off-center at PCGS. Original toned iridescent pale gold and gunmetal superb Gem Unc, technically pristine and virtually mark free, no doubt among if not the finest known. Rare error and grade. Set aside by a Federal Reserve employee a generation or more ago. A rare opportunity to buy the most exquisite of toned Morgan Dollar error coins! Nice trophy coin for the Morgan Dollar specialist.

Steve adds:

"It came in from an estate of a Federal Reserve staffer of the 1930s-1950s era, purchased out of the till at face value as they say, while on the job scanning for coins for his collection according to the family. I spoke with retired longtime expert Fred Weinberg on this piece and he believes it to be one of the finest toned examples he is familiar with on the date and mint. It is a stunning coin, what a perfect cheek! It is a fresh find to the market and has never been submitted by anyone for grading, it came in good company with 1879-CC, 1889-CC, 1893-CC, 1893-S examples, even a handsome 1895-O and a beautiful 1916-D Mercury Dime, all bought at face over the years while this collector worked at the Federal Reserve.

"Not only is this a great coin, but the provenance and story of this piece just makes it even better!"

Quite plain, yet interesting relief. I hadn't seen this one before.-Editor
