1878-S Morgan Dollar, MS66+ CAC
Granite Toning

1878-S $1 MS66+ PCGS. CAC. The 1878-S issue had a prolific mintage of around 9.8 million coins and as such has retained an abundant survivorship of Mint State examples, though it grows scarce at Premium Gem. This example's obverse displays attractive cerulean-blue and orchid-pink toning that resembles a more colorful form of the igneous rock that built the Granite Lady. The strike is pristine with only some minor abrasions in the fields but are negligible to the appeal. PCGS has only seen 95 examples numerically finer, and CAC reports just 20 finer (4/26).
