Gorgeous 1879-S. This coin is one of the best of my collection and the San Francisco Mint did an excellent job crafting this masterpiece. The amazing surface qualities become apparent through the images that PCGS took. Definitely one of my favorite coins in my Morgan Dollar Collection.
Since the San Francisco Mint created such spectacular specimens in the early years of the Morgan Dollar’s mintage, it can be tricky to find such a great example such as this one. This coin possesses some of the finest eye-appeal that I have ever seen. While PCGS did not, and usually doesn’t agree, with the PL nuances in the fields, one could argue that this 1880-S meets the technical qualities of a PL coin. However, it does appear that this coin had some sort of adhesive (possibly tape) directly on Liberty’s face. This makes for a somewhat distracting, but arguably beautiful central toning that is the hallmark of this piece. Despite a miNUTE dappling of possible strike points from coins in the mint, the reverse looks to be a solid MS66+. Overall a spectacular edition to any set and a great example of an 1880-S.

The pride and joy of my collection. This 1884 Morgan Dollar stands out to me as one of the best that I have had the pleasure to own. This coin has gorgeous surfaces and an exquisite toned obverse that can be matched by no other. The photos do not do this beauty proper justice. I know, it's hard to believe that this coin looks better in person.
I have never, in all of my years of collecting, seen such evident copper toning on a 1881-S as there is present on this one. The obverse has a gorgeous film of copper layering on that covers the coin from rim to rim. While most of the coins from this date have a blinding white surface, this coin has a unique and desirable patina that is not spared just for the obverse on the coin but is also present on the reverse. They say a picture is worth a thousand words but if you can believe it, this coin looks even BETTER in person. The lustrous silky toning jumps right off of the coin and truly makes this a one of a kind piece. Overall, a spectacularly refreshing take on the traditional blast-white of the 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar.

Don't be dissuaded by that ICG holder because if this coin could be "CACed" it would come back with a gold sticker. I would go as far to say that this 1882-S is under graded. The strike, which should be exceptional for this date, goes over and beyond all expectations. The vibrant face of Lady Liberty looks as if she is ready to jump off of the planchet. The rim toning is exceptional and really ties the bow on this specimen. The reverse possesses gorgeous peripheral toning that presents the eagle as a force to be reckoned with. When you see this piece in person I guarantee that it will be love at first sight.

The frosty face of Liberty on this 1883-O is unparalleled in its excellence and a dream for any collector. The deep mirror are accented with a gorgeous blue toning that is present on the obverse and reverse of the coin. On the obverse at 10 to 1 o-clock you can clearly see a ring of rainbow toning. As a matter of fact, I would daresay that the MS64 PL grade that this 1883-O received is a lowball grade. If you observe the coin from a technical standpoint that grade may be warranted or at least could go at a 64+, but from an eye appeal standpoint this coin could surely reach a MS65 PL grade at PCGS or NGC. Even the reverse has its own unique peripheral toning that is only brought full circle by the eagle with full feathers ablaze. This coin, is a truly spectacular specimen and an excellent find for such a solid date.
