Lot Description

Premium Gem 1887-S Morgan Dollar Just One Graded Finer by PCGS 1887-S Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-66+ (PCGS). CAC. This is a brilliant and snow-white example with dynamic luster across each side. The fields are satiny and lightly reflective, creating a prooflike complexion against the more richly frosted design elements. Free from distracting blemishes and certainly choice for the grade. The 1887-S Morgan silver dollar boasts a low-mintage for the series of just 1,771,000 coins. While it remains somewhat available in lower Mint State grades, it becomes considerable scarce in Gem condition and is virtually unknown above MS-66. The present example is a significant anomaly from this desirable issue and is certainly among the finest pieces extant. It is tied at the present grade with only 3 other pieces at PCGS and just a single coin ranks finer in MS-67. PCGS Population: 4; 1 finer. PCGS# 7180. NGC ID: 2554.
