1888 MORGAN $1 NGC MS65 DMPL
GEM WHITE DEEP MIRROR PROOF-LIKE. ONLY 6 GRADED HIGHER.
NGC PRICE GUIDE IS $2,600
Featured Price: $1,950
Despite the ongoing Manifest Destiny westward, much of the United States' population still resided in the more structured and industrialized northeast by the late 1800s. This proved to be a deadly choice when the Great Blizzard of 1888 hit the East coast on March 11, 1888. In the days leading up to the diabolical blizzard, temperatures had been trending toward the mid-50s, denoting the coming of a friendly spring. Unfortunately, Mother Nature is always a force to be reckoned with and when cool Arctic air met the warmer Gulf Stream, temperatures plummeted. Rain quickly turned to snow and winds reached record highs, at the time, of eight-five miles per hour. New York, one of the country's most populous towns, was hit the hardest compared to other populated cities. In fact, the city nearly halted all operations due to the large two-story snow banks, frozen water and gas lines, and blocked communications. It was so cold that the East River was able to completely freeze over as well, an extremely rare occurrence. For several weeks after the storm New York remained largely isolated from the rest of the country. So much so that messages for Boston had to first be relayed to England and transmitted back. By the end of the storm the East coast death toll reached more than four hundred - with two hundred in New York alone - and caused over a million dollars in property damage. New York did learn its lesson, however after they realized how troublesome and dangerous it was to have gas, water, communication, and even transportation lines above ground. It is because of this storm that we have modern day city planning with underground utilities and New York has its infamous subway system.
