Heritage Auctions offered several interesting coins from 11th October to 14th October at the Signature Auction in Dallas. One of the highlights was an 1893-S Morgan dollar graded PCGS AU 55 with a green CAC sticker. Out of the 100,000 coins that were struck, only a few of them exist in MS grade.

AU-50 examples have been sold for $17,000 to $18,000. Five PCGS AU-53 coins have been sold for $21,150 to $28,800 in two years. Another coin Graded PCGS AU-55 piece without a CAC sticker was sold for $32,900. AU-58 1893-S dollars have a market value of $80,000.
