1879-S Morgan Dollar, MS68+
Stunning Tied-Finest Example

1879-S $1 MS68+ PCGS. CAC. The 1879-S is one of the most plentiful dates in the Morgan dollar series in high grade, making it an ideal choice for type collections. Nonetheless, that availability declines in MS68, and PCGS reports only 15 non-Prooflike pieces in this grade with a Plus designation. None are numerically finer at that service (9/25).

The current coin, tied for finest at PCGS, displays a full strike and dazzling cartwheel mint luster. Subtle field reflectivity joins the frosty dominating appearance. Liberty's cheek and the fields are pristine. CAC endorsement further sets this piece apart from its peers. CAC: 72 in 68, 0 finer (9/25).(Registry values: P1, N1793)
From The Badgerland Registry Set of Morgan Dollars.
