<B>1883-S $1 MS65 NGC.</B></I> The 1883-S dollar comes with a mintage of 6,250,000 pieces. David Bowers, in his book, <I>A Complete History and Price Guide</B></I>, writes that: "The distribution of the 1883-S began in large quantity soon after the mintage, with the result that examples in all grades were available to numismatists generations ago. However, by the 1940s the issue was viewed as scarce. In the 1950s some bags were released, but probably just a few. At least part of a bag found its way to Nevada investor LaVere Redfield. I am not aware of any quantities in the 1962-1964 Treasury release."<BR> Dazzling luster exudes from both sides of this Gem. Untoned surfaces exhibit well impressed design features, including sharp definition in the hair at Liberty's ear and on the eagle's breast feathers. The few unobtrusive marks scattered about do not distract, and are certainly within the parameters of the MS65 grade designation. Census: 15 in 65, 3 finer (6/07).<BR><I>From the Reuben Reinstein Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
