Attractive XF40 1893-S Dollar

1893-S $1 XF40 PCGS. "Rare in all grades," "major key," "the object of great desire," "highly desired in all grades"; such are the usual descriptions for this coin. Even a quick glance through Morgan dollar price lists will quickly identify the 1893-S as a key date. The 100,000 coin mintage is the lowest of the series (except for the apparently nonexistent 1895-dated business strike coins), and many of those were likely melted. Though a few thousand have been certified, most grade VF or lower. Remarkably clean surfaces, the high points show light friction from a brief time in circulation. Much original brilliance remains overall with light tan patina over the highest portions of the design elements.(Registry values: P10, N2998)
