1881-S $1 Morgan Silver Dollar, PCGS MS67+ (CAC) - Registry Set Candidate

What collectors love about San Francisco Mint Morgan dollars, especially the 1881-S, is their overall superior quality. They have a "WOW" factor that is indisputable. Walk a coin show. When a coin grabs your attention, pulling you to that table like a magnet, virtually every time it will be an S-mint Morgan dollar. This piece would be right at home in a Registry Set.

David Bowers tells us of this issue, "Usually very sharply struck on all points, remarkable in view of the huge mintage figure of 12,760,000. In general, the San Francisco Mint earned high marks for quality...typically with satiny lustre, often slightly prooflike." In a similar vein, silver dollar expert Wayne Miller reports, "...most 1881-S dollars are surprisingly uniform in the excellence of their strike, and the brilliance of their luster."
