Description
1885-S Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-66 (PCGS).
A frosty and enchanting premium Gem with mottled reddish-golden and sea-blue iridescence decorating the peripheries. The balance of the reverse is brilliant, while for the obverse we note a base of pale antique silver throughout. The 1885-S is among the scarcer San Francisco Mint Morgan dollars in Mint State, although in an absolute sense the issue is easy to collect in grades up to and including MS-64. At and above the basal Gem level, however, the conditionally challenging nature of this issue comes readily to the fore. Among the finest known to the graders at PCGS, and certainly among the nicest examples of the issue that we have offered in recent sales, this vivid and attractive premium Gem Mint State coin is worthy of the strongest bids.
PCGS# 7164. NGC ID: 254U.
PCGS Population: 81; 12 finer in this category (MS-67 finest).
