Choice 1896-S Morgan Dollar
Scarcer Date in High Grade

1896-S $1 MS64 PCGS. In spite of the large mintage of 5 million pieces, the 1896-S Morgan dollar has always been a scarcer date in the series. The present coin is an attractive Choice Mint State example with brilliant surfaces and vibrant mint luster. The strike shows just a touch of softness on the eagle's breast and the hair above the ear. Q. David Bowers considers MS64 the Optimal Collecting Grade. Housed in a green label holder.
