Losbeschreibung

A truly remarkable example of this scarcer entry in the San Francisco Mint Morgan dollar series. Sharply struck, as befits the issue, the detail on both sides is full apart from a touch of trivial softness to the central high points. The luster is strong with a frosty to faintly semi-reflective finish. Beautifully toned, as well, we note iridescent pinkish-rose and cobalt blue highlights at the peripheries. Silky smooth in appearance and sure to please even the most discerning numismatist.<p>Elusive in all grades due to widespread melting of undistributed examples, the 1901-S was not represented in the Treasury Department silver dollar releases of 1962 to 1964 to any great extent. What coins were paid out from government stocks had already been absorbed by the numismatic community by the 1950s. Today these are widely dispersed and offerings for Gem Mint State coins are for single examples, and seldom in certified grades finer than MS-65. This condition rarity PCGS MS-66+, then, is a significant bidding opportunity for the advanced collector specializing in this perennially popular silver dollar series.
