Notes:
The 1884 Morgan Silver Dollar is readily obtainable in Mint State, but
is scarce as a Prooflike or Deep Mirror Prooflike. The most common Uncirculated grade is MS-64, followed
by MS-63. The finest examples
graded by PCGS is a single MS-68, a single MS-67 Prooflike, and 5 MS-66 Prooflikes.
Proofs of this date are
scarce, but can be found in Gem condition with a bit of searching. The finest Proofs graded by PCGS
are a single PR-68, a single PRCA-66 Proof Cameo, and 2 PRDC-66
Proof Deep Cameo.
