1870 United States Silver Morgan Dollar, $1 Coin. A significant and highly sought-after early date in the iconic Morgan Dollar series. This particular specimen boasts a prestigious pedigree, originating from the renowned D.L. Hansen Collection, a name synonymous with exceptional quality and rarity in U.S. coinage.
Graded PR 63 + DCAM by PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service). This grade signifies a strong, original strike with noticeable brilliance and attractive eye appeal for a proof coin of this age. The '+' designation indicates that PCGS believes the coin exhibits qualities exceeding the typical standards for the PR 63 grade.
Further enhanced by the coveted CAC (Certified Acceptance Corporation) sticker. This green bean signifies that CAC, an independent third-party grading service, has reviewed the coin and agrees with the PCGS grade and further attests to its superior quality and originality within that grade level.
The 'DCAM' (Deep Cameo) designation is the pinnacle for proof Morgan Dollars. It indicates a dramatic contrast between deeply mirrored fields and frosted, sharply detailed devices (the design elements like Liberty's head and the eagle). This visual contrast creates a stunning, three-dimensional appearance, making it highly desirable to collectors.
In summary, this 1870 Morgan Dollar represents a rare opportunity to own a significant early proof issue from a celebrated collection, exhibiting exceptional eye appeal and quality as confirmed by both PCGS and CAC with the highly prized Deep Cameo designation. This coin is a true treasure for any serious collector of Morgan Dollars, proof coinage, or American numismatic rarities.
