Description

1889-S $1 MS65 PCGS. While readily available in lower Uncirculated grades, due to large quantities released from storage in the San Francisco Mint during the mid twentieth century, MS65 and better examples of the 1889-S are scarce to rare. The present full Gem specimen reveals sharply impressed motifs, though the hair at Liberty's ear is a touch soft. Smoky-gray and light orange patina compete for space on the lustrous surfaces that are relatively well preserved. Just a couple of tiny, unobtrusive marks on Liberty's cheek can be seen under magnification. Housed in a first generation PCGS holder.(#7194) (Registry values: P6, N1793)
