1887-S Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-65 (PCGS).,With a razor sharp strike and bountiful mint luster, this untoned beauty would make an impressive addition to a Gem Morgan dollar set. The 1887-S is a lower mintage (1,771000 pieces) issue for its type that was not represented to an appreciable extent in the Treasury Department silver dollar releases of 1962 to 1964. Quantities were available from government storage in earlier decades, but by the late 1950s the scarcity of this issue was already recognized. The LaVere Redfield hoard dispersed in 1976 contained five to 10 bags, of which the vast majority of Uncirculated coins were in lower grades through MS-64 by todays standards. The coin offered here is scarce from a condition standpoint and is sure to attract strong bids.,From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection.
