1880-S $1 MS66 Certification #29287297, PCGS #7118

This spectacular coin radiates RAINBOW 🌈 colors on both sides! The all-natural toning resulting from 140+ years of age out of circulation makes this beauty a double-sided kaleidoscope of variegation. As a superb-gem uncirculated Morgan silver dollar (in Mint State 66!), its lustrous iridescence is intrinsically preserved within the effectively-untouched specimen. Double-sided toned gems like this are exceedingly rare and dearth in even the most incredible collections, as conventional thought on toning centers on a coin's innate reaction to exposure to natural environmental conditions over the course of decades in a natrually-"sheltered" manner such as the oxidation of silver originating on a silver coin at the end of a mint roll. But, being at the end of a mint roll necessarily requires that only one single side of the coin experience such a reaction as to produce the rainbow toning. It is as if this particular gem was immersed into air in a protected pocket without any handling!

The 1880-S Morgan Dollar is one of the most common coins in the series. It is fairly easy to find up to MS66 condition. In MS67 to MS68 they are much scarcer. In MS69 they are considered rare, as few examples exist in this condition or higher.
