Morgan Dollars
1892-S $1 MS61 PCGS. The pool of Mint State 1892-S dollars is an extremely shallow one for collectors to draw on. Fewer than 130 combined grading events are recorded by PCGS and NGC in all Uncirculated grades -- less than any other Morgan dollar except for the rare (and much more famous) 1893-S. Not surprisingly, many fine collections have only a circulated example to represent the 1892-S. Overall, the issue is readily available in all circulated conditions, suggesting that most of the 1.2 million-piece mintage was released into commerce and not numismatically preserved or stockpiled in Treasury vaults.
This brilliant example is sharp, lustrous, and blaze-white except for faint traces of almond-gold patina at the centers. The obverse fields are semiprooflike while the reverse is smooth and frosted. Both sides show a number of small marks and abrasions consistent with the MS61 grade. There is no denying the Uncirculated status of this coin like-new mint luster and crisp eye appeal. Population: 7 in 61, 56 finer (3/17).
