1893 One Dollar MS Values
Details
The 1893 Philadelphia-mint Morgan dollar is a scarce coin in any grade, with all pieces above MS64 are rare and MS65s are quite rare. Only a handful of pieces are known in MS66. Meanwhile, PLs and DMPLs are both very rare, and none of either format are known in MS65 or better. While strikes are strong for these coins, luster is not always so frosty.
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.
