1881-S Dollar, MS68
Incredible Obverse Toning

1881-S $1 MS68 PCGS. There are certain date and mintmark combinations that are known as "perfect for type." And their reputation is well-deserved. In the case of the 1881-S it is an issue that is invariably found with clean surfaces, bright mint frost, full strike, and bright semiprooflike fields. This particular coin adds to that already distinctive list a rich array of crimson and blue toning in irregular swirls of color on the obverse. This is the type of toning that brings multiples of what a brilliant 1881-S is worth. The interior of the reverse is brilliant with faint golden and blue rings of color around the margins.
