Description

1884-S Dollar, Near-Mint
Colorfully Toned and Lustrous

1884-S $1 AU58 PCGS. CAC. The 1884-S is famous for its rarity in Mint State, especially relative to the number of near-Mint examples. The grade distribution for the issue is much different from the 1878-S through 1882-S, which are common in Mint State. One theory among numismatists is that the Treasury shipped a few sealed bags to a casino during the mid-20th century, where they were used briefly and then placed into storage. The present Borderline Uncirculated example is distinctive for its lush lemon-gold, ruby-red, and steel-gray toning. Cartwheel luster is noticeable, and there are no obtrusive abrasions.
