Brilliant 1893-S Morgan Dollar, AU50

1893-S $1 AU50 NGC. The acknowledged key to the Morgan dollar series, the 1893-S comes from a series-low business-strike mintage of 100,000 pieces. The coins were released into circulation at an early date, and served their intended purpose in the regional economy. Today, most examples seen are in VF grades, with other circulated grades underrepresented in population totals, and Mint State coins seldom encountered. AU examples are scarce in absolute terms, and rare in the context of the series.
The present coin is an attractive, untoned specimen, with slight traces of wear on the high points, such as the hair over Liberty's ear. Mint luster is evident in the protected areas of the surfaces, near the devices. The surfaces show fewer abrasions than expected for the grade.
