Lot Description

1887-S Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-63 DMPL (PCGS). CAC. Breathtakingly beautiful surfaces are untoned to allow ready appreciation of a boldly cameoed finish. Sharply struck with solid Choice quality, advanced collectors of DMPL Morgans would be wise to pursue this offering with vigor. Except for a brief period of time following the release of several 1,000-coin bags from the early 1940s to the early 1950s, Mint State 1887-S dollars have always been scarce in numismatic circles. Prooflike coins are elusive, and most are one-sided or otherwise lack the strong quality and awesome eye appeal of the present example. PCGS# 97181. NGC ID: 2554. PCGS Population: 29; 29 finer in this category (MS-65 DMPL finest).
