An Excessively Rare 1893-S in Gem Mint State PCGS MS-65 CAC
Thank you to our sponsors!
Go check them out!
Common through MS64 the 1889-O Morgan dollar is very scarce in MS65 and exceptionally rare in MS66 or better. Part of this scarcity of Gems derives from the relatively poor strikes seen on many O-mint pieces such as this one. Meanwhile, PLs and DMPLs are also very scarce though certainly not unknown, but they are rare in the Gem levels and thus command strong premiums.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse Description
The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
