Rarity Factors and Value Drivers
The condition of 1895 Morgan Dollars has a profound impact on their value, particularly for the Philadelphia mint proofs. These proofs are extremely valuable in all grades, with even circulated examples commanding high premiums. For the San Francisco and New Orleans issues, mint state coins are highly sought after, with MS65 and above being especially valuable.
Strike quality, luster, and absence of contact marks are crucial factors in determining the grade and value of these coins. The presence of original toning can significantly enhance the appeal and value, particularly for the proof issues.

For the San Francisco and New Orleans issues, eye appeal plays a significant role in determining value beyond just the technical grade. Coins with exceptional luster, strong strikes, and attractive toning can command substantial premiums over typical examples of the same grade.
The historical significance of the 1895 Morgan Dollar, particularly the Philadelphia issue, adds to its allure and value among collectors and investors alike.
