Description
Nicely Toned, Elusive Gem 1887-S Morgan Dollar
1887-S $1 MS65 ANACS. Although not widely represented in the Treasury release of 1962-1964, the 1887-S is a relatively available coin through the MS64 grade level. Many low grade Uncirculated coins probably emerged from federal holdings earlier in the 20th century. In addition, the LaVere Redfield Hoard contained perhaps 10 bags of Mint State 1887-S Silver Dollars. According to Wayne Miller, many of these coins were of "high quality," but since they were widely dispersed throughout the collecting community, Gem representatives do not appear with regularity in today's auctions. This is a beautiful, fully satiny coin whose surfaces are attractively toned with blushes of champagne-lilac and purple iridescence somewhat deeper on the obverse. The strike is sharp and free of criticism, a fact that only enhances this coin's already impressive eye appeal.(#7180) (Registry values: P6, N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2554, PCGS# 7180, GSID# 7546)
