1887-S Morgan Dollar ($1)

By the late 1880s, the Comstock Lode had been tapped, and demand for Morgan Dollars had tapered off significantly compared to the boom years earlier in the decade. As a result, S-mint Morgans from this period are considerably harder to find in high grades versus their 1880-1882 counterparts, making them particularly sought after among collectors.

This 1887-S Morgan Dollar, graded MS64 by PCGS and adorned with a coveted CAC sticker, is a stellar example of the relative rarity of high-grade late '80s S-mint Morgans. The coin showcases a soft yet radiant luster, with minimal contact marks that are consistent with the grade. Both the obverse and reverse maintain sharp strikes, particularly noticeable in Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s feathers. The surfaces exhibit an attractive, original frostiness that enhances the coin's eye appeal, making it a desirable addition for those targeting high-quality Morgans.
