1889-S Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-66+ (PCGS). One of the finest examples of this issue known to PCGS, this expertly preserved and lightly toned Gem would serve with distinction in an advanced Morgan dollar set. A blend of olive-gold and peach patina accents each side and is further enhanced by intense satin luster. Just a single coin has been certified finer by PCGS. The 1899-S is relatively scarce in Mint State with only a few bags coming to light during the Treasury Department releases of 1962 to 1964. Quantities in the Redfield Hoard were also limited, and most coins included therein were in lower grades through MS-63. This is a Condition Census example that is sure to see spirited bidding from discerning collectors.
