1898-S Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. Here is a semi-prooflike example with brilliant surfaces and generally sharp striking detail. Scarce in lower Mint State grades and rare as a Gem, the 1898-S was not widely represented in the Treasury Department silver dollar releases of 1962 to 1964. Numerous bags that had been stored at the San Francisco Mint were released during the 1920s, 1940s and 1950s, but numismatic interest was low at the time and the coins were dispersed far and wide. Many pieces even found their way to Nevada casinos during the mid-20th century. A particularly fortunate survivor, this coin is sure to appeal to astute Morgan dollar collectors. From the Larry H. Miller Collection. From the Larry H. Miller Collection.
