1885-S Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-66+ (PCGS).Brilliant silver white surfaces are sharply struck, highly lustrous and silky smooth in appearance. The 1885-S is among the scarcer San Francisco Mint Morgan dollars in Mint State, although in an absolute sense the issue is easy to collect in grades up to and including MS-64. At and above the Gem level, however, the conditionally challenging nature of this issue comes readily to the fore. A mere 5 examples are graded MS-66+ or MS-67 by PCGS, making this example one of the finest known. This is the nicest example that we can recall handling, and it is worthy of the strongest bids.
