An Excessively Rare 1893-S in Gem Mint State PCGS MS-65 CAC
Thank you to our sponsors!

The 1889-S Morgan dollar is, like so many other S-mint dollars of that period, a low-mintage issue that is in all respects a scarce coin. Though, it was once thought to be a very rare coin until bag quantities came onto the market in the 1930s and 1940s. This piece is readily available in the circulated grades up through about MS64, becoming very challenging above that level. It is a considerable rarity in the grades of MS66 or higher. PLs and DMPLs are rare in all grades.
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.
