1891-S One Dollar MS Values
Details
A scarce S-mint issue that is widely available in circulated and lower-end MS grades but rare in MS65 or better levels. A very small number have been certified in MS67, though these are worth big money due to their extreme scarcity. PLs and DMPLs are both rare, and in the MS65 level are exceptionally so.
Obverse: 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: 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.
