🪙 Item Description
Secure a seldom-seen high-grade 1901 Morgan Dollar, graded AU-50 by ICG. The 1901-P is famous among Morgan specialists: struck in huge numbers (6.96 million), yet most went straight into circulation or the melting pot. In AU and better, it becomes a sleeper rarity. This piece retains strong cartwheel luster in protected areas, with sharp hair curls and bold eagle breast feathers—eye appeal that eclipses many lower-end Mint-State coins yet at a far friendlier price.
PCGS CoinFacts estimates ≈ 145,000 survivors across all grades, but only ≈ 20,000 pieces reach AU-50 or finer—roughly 1 in 350 of the original mintage.¹ If you’re assembling a high-grade date-mint set, the 1901-P represents one of the toughest “common-mintage” Philadelphia slots. This AU-50 example offers near-MS detail without the four-figure cost of true Mint State.
