Description
Remarkable 1880-S Morgan Dollar, MS68
1880-S $1 MS68 PCGS. According to the Bowers silver dollar Encyclopedia: "In 1880 the only silver coins produced at the San Francisco Mint were dollars. The silver dollars of that year were produced with care, with precise die spacing (in most instances), and today are admired for their quality." This piece is an excellent illustration of Bowers' observation. Exceptionally crisp striking definition is demonstrated on both sides, and the entirely untoned ice-white surfaces reveal impeccable preservation. A common issue in lower grades, perhaps, but not at this remarkable level of preservation.(Registry values: P1, N1793)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2544, PCGS# 7118, GSID# 7476)
