Losbeschreibung

Sharply struck with softly frosted luster, this beautiful example is enhanced by delicate toning in iridescent champagne-gold. The rarity of the 1884-S Morgan dollar in Mint State is well known, and survivors are avidly sought for advanced collections of this ever-popular series. As with many issues of this type, the 1884-S has a respectable mintage, in this case 3,200,000 pieces. The vast majority of survivors are worn, however, suggestive of widespread circulation - an unusual situation for a silver dollar of this type. Indeed, the 1884-S is plentiful in circulated grades, and most collectors settle for an AU to represent the date in a Morgan dollar set. For the advanced numismatist the present lot offers the chance to acquire a solidly graded Mint State example with superior eye appeal relative to the MS-61 designation from NGC. A lovely piece that is sure to catch the eye of astute bidders.
