1880-S $1 MS66* PCGS #7118

CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

An incredible, high end GEM! An intense, booming, brilliant cartwheel luster rolls vibrantly all over. The obverse luster is almost Prooflike, with an ultra flashy look. The right side of the obverse is toned in a delightful blend of coppery-orange, pale azure, gold, and mingled shades of apricot-tangerine-rose. Though covering less than half the surface, the toning does rate an 8+ on our color scale. The surfaces are exceptionally clean and the devices are frosty and crisply struck up. A borderline SUPERB coin that is nicer than some we have seen in MS67 holders. A stunning coin worthy of the NGC "*" designation and a strong bid from the toned dollar specialist! Cert. Number 5844519-004 PCGS # 7118.00

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.
