Description

1893-S Morgan Dollar, AU53
A High Grade for This Series Key

1893-S $1 AU53 NGC. The 1893-S remains a major rarity in any grade from a 100,000-piece mintage that likely saw many examples melted under the terms of the 1918 Pittman Act. An estimated 12,000 gradable examples survive across the certifiable spectrum, of which perhaps 100 or so Mint State pieces exist today. Any certified Uncirculated example that exists today is a six-figure coin, making the About Uncirculated level the "sweet spot" for many collectors. This AU53 example offers lightly toned golden-gray surfaces that retain glints of silver luster throughout the partially reflective obverse and reverse fields. Faint tufts of reddish-gold toning exist at the margins. As expected at this grade, light abrasions exist including an unobtrusive dash-like mark below Liberty's chin. Eye appeal remains strong. The 1893-S is among the 100 Greatest U.S. Coins, ranking #41 in the 6th edition of Jeff Garrett's reference. NGC Census: 59 in 53 (1 in 53+), 81 finer (12/25).(Registry values: P10, N4719)
