Lustrous Choice XF 1893-S Morgan Dollar

1893-S $1 XF45 PCGS. A popular collector grade for this most popular Morgan dollar, one for which market demand seems to be intensifying as new collectors and strong money continue to flood into numismatics. The average certified survivor (and most numismatists should shy away from uncertified examples) grades only about VF25. A piece such as this in Choice XF (and a couple of other key dates) would fill the bill quite nicely for the many collectors who are working on a set that is otherwise largely Mint State.
The silver-white surfaces are tinged with grayish-gold patina, and much luster remains on both sides. A few contact marks appear on Liberty's cheek, and under a loupe some light hairlines are noted in the obverse fields. There is, however, generous appeal remaining, with the luster especially strong.(Registry values: P10, N2998)
