The Lipton Gallery is displaying a $3 million Augustus Saint-Gaudens statue that inspired the famous, similar design for Double Eagle gold coins.
The so-called 1921 Chapman proof Morgan dollars are named for famed coin dealer Henry Chapman, who, it is presumed, ordered these for sale to the numismatic community. Perhaps 30 were made, and many boast stunning surfaces and overall excellent quality, with overall diagnostics that suggest these are true proof strikes and not merely proof-like circulation strikes. Many were mishandled and thus about half grade below PR64. There are a few exceptionally nice survivors grading as high as PR67 and at least one or two known cameos. One example graded PCGS PR67 took $229,125 in a 2018 Legend Rare Coin Auctions sale.
Obverse Description

Reverse Description
