1895-S One Dollar MS Values
Details
All 1895-dated Morgan dollars are scarce, and they are also among the top of the most-wanted list by collectors. These 1895-S Morgan dollars are extremely scarce in any grade, and especially so in the MS levels. The number of survivors drops off steeply above MS64, with MS65s considered rare and MS66s exceedingly rare. PLs and DMPLs are rare in any grade, yet there are a few examples of either known in the MS65 or better grades.
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.
