Bright 1893-S Dollar, AU50

1893-S $1 AU50 PCGS. The numismatic marketplace shows a seemingly insatiable lust for Morgan dollars in general and for the 1893-S dollar in particular. Examples are in demand in all grades, and the future appears every bit as bright as the past has been for this issue. A nice AU example such as the present piece seems a right-size compromise for many collectors between coins with an unacceptable degree of wear and the occasional but pricey Mint State specimen that appears now and again. The bright silvery surfaces of this key-date example display occasional wisps of light gold and retain traces of luster in the recessed areas. The design elements exhibit nice detail, save for light high-point wear. The few minute marks seen are completely in line with a coin that has seen light circulation.
