Notes:
The finest Uncirculated examples graded by PCGS  are 10 MS-67's, 5 MS-66 Prooflikes, and 2 MS-66 Deep Mirror Prooflike.

Proofs of the 1897 Morgan Silver Dollar are a bit tougher to find than normal, and Gems are about twice as difficult to locate as those of 1896.  Nevertheless, PCGS has graded 4 PR-68's, which is one of the higher populations in that grade out of the entire series. The finest Proof Cameo and Proof Deep Cameo graded by PCGS are a single PRCA-67 and a single PRDC-66, respectively.
