Marvelous 1881-S Morgan Dollar, MS68

1881-S $1 MS68 PCGS. The 1881-S Morgan dollar is one of the best-produced issues in the entire series. There are thousands of high grade examples and, indeed, there are more than 4,000 pieces graded at MS67 by NGC and PCGS combined. At MS68, however, the numbers are much smaller, and the two major services have seen fewer than 250 such coins, including any possible resubmissions. This marvelous specimen has a lovely, frosty sheen across snow-white surfaces. The design elements are fully struck. A couple of tiny nicks, just behind Liberty's head, are the only evidence of imperfection on either side of this remarkable representative. Population: 87 in 68, 2 finer (6/09).
