Description
Brilliant Gem 1895-S Morgan Dollar
Unusual Semiprooflike Surfaces
1895-S $1 MS65 NGC. This is a special coin. Most examples of
this issue show extensive bagmarks and other abrasions, but this is
a relatively mark-free Gem, aside from the usual quota of small
abrasions. More importantly, however, this piece has rather unusual
surfaces. The typical 1895-S, like many of its predecessors, shows
thick mint frost that liberally coats the devices. Not so this
piece: The surfaces are brilliant and semiprooflike, in that regard
more like a Mint State 1893-S, many of which also show some
prooflikeness. The strike is excellent, as usually seen on the
1895-S. Of course, in Gem condition any 1895-S is an elusive and
popular rarity. NGC has certified only 10 pieces at this level,
with a mere three finer (6/09).(Registry values: P8, N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 255Z, PCGS# 7238, GSID# 7622)
