Description

Elusive 1887-S Gem Dollar

1887-S $1 MS65 PCGS. The only recorded quantities of Mint State 1887-S Morgan dollars that entered the numismatic market did so in the 1940s and 1950s. These releases (mostly from storage in the San Francisco Mint) have resulted in a significant number of MS60-MS64 examples in today's market, but Gems remain elusive. Typically well produced for the issue, both sides are sharply struck throughout, with swirling, frosty cartwheel luster. There are no singularly distracting abrasions, and the otherwise untoned features reveal original peripheral toning in reddish-golden shades.(Registry values: P6, N2998)
