Original Choice XF 1893-S Morgan Dollar

1893-S $1 XF45 PCGS. This Choice XF piece would be near the top of any Morgan collector's want list, likely more so than the proof-only 1895 Morgan dollar that is normally collected alongside the business strikes, since the circulation issues have turned out to be nonexistent. Only at the largest coin shows can one find a decent selection of certified 1893-S dollars to choose from, as the smaller shows are typically apt to feature perhaps only a lone VG or two. (And certification is essential for the 1893-S Morgan, as some of those same shows will reveal in the form of some spurious examples.)
The present piece, of course, shows the tiny die chips in the bottom left foot of the R in LIBERTY and the diagonal die line through the top of the T that are seen on all genuine examples. Perhaps one-third of the original mint luster remains, and the silvery surfaces show a glint of gold on the highpoints while remaining largely untoned. There are no distracting contact marks, save for a single tick at the bottom of the eagle's breast. A nice collector's coin that will not look out of place in a Mint State set.(Registry values: P10, N2998)
