- Key Date 1884-S Silver Dollar
Rare in Mint State
1884-S Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-62 (PCGS). CAC. OGH.
Sharply struck with bountiful satin luster, this beautiful example is enhanced by delicate iridescent champagne-gold and pale silver toning. The surfaces are remarkably smooth, certainly free of sizable marks, and have an appearance that is quite close to Choice Uncirculated quality.
The rarity of the 1884-S Morgan dollar in Mint State is well known, and survivors are avidly sought for advanced collections of this ever-popular series. As with many issues of this type, the 1884-S has a respectable mintage, in this case 3,200,000 pieces. The vast majority of survivors are worn, however, suggestive of widespread circulation - an unusual situation for a silver dollar of this type. Indeed, the 1884-S is plentiful in circulated grades, and most collectors settle for an AU to represent the date in a Morgan dollar set. For the advanced numismatist the present lot offers the chance to acquire an upper end Mint State example with superior eye appeal relative to the MS-62 designation from PCGS. Thoroughly PQ, a lovely piece, and sure to appeal to astute bidders.
Provenance: From the Roberta and William C. Willner Collection.
