Morgan Dollars
1901-S $1 MS66+ PCGS. The 1901-S Morgan dollar claims an adequate mintage of nearly 2.3 million pieces, but the issue is surprisingly difficult to locate in high grade. Apparently few high-quality specimens were saved by contemporary collectors. There has never been a shortage of coins in circulated or lower Mint State grades, causing the issue to be somewhat overlooked, outside of series specialists. The 1901-S is extremely elusive in MS66+ condition and finer coins are virtually unobtainable.
This Plus-graded Premium Gem was struck from the new C4 hub and shows just a trace of the usual softness on the hair strands above Liberty's ear and the feathers on the eagle's breast. The impeccably preserved surfaces radiate frosty mint luster on both sides, with a few hints of golden-tan toning. Population: 39 in 66 (4 in 66+), 3 finer (6/17).
