1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar. Classic Liberty Era Label. MS-67 * DPL (NGC). Captivating near-flawless surfaces are intensely brilliant in the absence of even the lightest toning. One's eye is immediately drawn to the stark cameo contrast between frosty design elements and deeply mirrored fields. Fully struck, as befits the issue, with exceptional quality and phenomenal eye appeal. One of the quintessential type candidates in the Morgan silver dollar series of 1878 to 1921, the 1881-S is the most common of the early date issues in Mint State. Literally millions of the 12,760,000 coins struck remained in federal storage until released by the Treasury Department in 1938, during the 1950s and, especially, in the early to mid 1960s. Given their ready availability and the high standards of quality to which virtually all were produced, 1881-S dollars have been extremely popular with type collectors seeking a single Mint State coin to represent the Morgan dollar series. At the threshold of numismatic perfection, however, the Deep Mirror Prooflike example offered here is rare from a condition standpoint. Indeed it is far better produced and preserved than the vast majority of 1881-S dollars, and represents a significant find for the most discerning of numismatists. NGC Census: 11, just two of which have been awarded a * designation for superior eye appeal; 2 finer in this category (both Proof-68 DPL). PCGS# 97131. NGC ID: 2549.
