CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

Continuing with the San Francisco mint, this coin is our second of four MS67 graded coins. Also fully covered in deep rich bronze toning on both the obverse and reverse still with hints of golds, blues and greens - but this one adds lavender to the mix. Also at the super gem grade of MS67 by PCGS and housed in a gen 1.2 "Rattler" holder and displaying the seal of approval passing grade by CAC - According to our PCGS population report published December 1st, 1989 - there were only 239 - 1881-S coins in the same grade with 9 coins remarkably graded higher in 68 and a lone coin sitting at the top in MS69 - I was fortunate enough to see a picture of this lone MS69 at a coin show in Baltimore by the proud owner himself.
