An Excessively Rare 1893-S in Gem Mint State PCGS MS-65 CAC
Thank you to our sponsors!
Go check them out!
The 1881-O Morgan dollar is extremely common in circulated grades and remains widely available through about MS65, though above that point becomes scarce, as do most O-mint Morgans; pieces grading above MS66 are true rarities. PLs and DMPLs appear with some frequency in the lower MS levels but are downright rare in MS65 or higher.
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.
