<B>1872-S $1 MS63 NGC.</B></I> The 1872-S is the only collectible Motto San Francisco Seated dollar issue. Two other Motto S-mint issues were struck, but no examples of the 1873-S have ever surfaced, while the 1870-S is a legendary rarity. Only 9,000 1872-S dollars were struck, which compares favorably to the more than 1 million 1872 Seated dollars produced at Philadelphia. Most 1872-S survivors are in VF to AU grades. Only a handful of pieces have been certified as Mint State, none above MS64. The present boldly struck and satiny representative has dusky golden-brown, ruby-red, and ocean-blue toning. The surfaces are remarkably unabraded, even when studied beneath a lens. Census: 4 in 63, 2 finer (2/08).<BR><I>From The Queller Family Collection of Silver Dollars.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
