Remarkable Gem 1896-S Dollar

1896-S $1 MS65 PCGS Secure. With a mintage of an even 5 million pieces, the 1896-S is a readily available Morgan dollar in circulated and Mint State grades, but the issue's rarity and price increase dramatically at the MS65 level. This is an attractive Gem, softly struck through the centers as usually seen but with great cartwheel luster. The surfaces are coated in fine but gorgeous frost, most visible at the small scrapes on Liberty's neck, which reveal the difference between the coin's "skin" and fresh metal. Hints of gold and peach peripheral color complete the eye appeal. Population: 55 in 65, 3 finer (6/10).(Registry values: P7, N4719)
