Description

Morgan Silver Dollar

1888-S Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-65+ (PCGS).

Frosty and lustrous surfaces are brilliant with a sharply executed strike. The 1888-S is one of the scarcer Morgan dollars of its era, due primarily to a mintage of 657,000 pieces. For reasons that have been lost to history, silver dollar production at the San Francisco Mint remained low during to mid to late 1880s as the Philadelphia and New Orleans mints accounted for the vast majority of examples struck. While numismatists should have little difficulty locating an example of this issue in grades up to MS-64, Gems in MS-65 are elusive while coins grading finer are rare.

PCGS# 7186. NGC ID: 2557.

From the Bimyway Collection.

Estimate: $ 2500
