<B>1891-S S$1 MS66 PCGS.</B></I> Although the '91-S was not represented in the Treasury Department releases of the 1960s to any great extent, this date is not a major rarity in Mint State. Many of the 5.2 million coins originally struck were preserved in government vaults, and most, if not all of these coins were dispersed prior to 1960. As with many issues in this perennially popular series, the '91-S is plagued by excessive bagmarks. The majority of the extant Mint State population (Bowers, 1993, estimates as many as 40,000-70,000 coins) are confined to the BU grade level. The surviving population dwindles rapidly as one approaches the MS65 level, and coins that grade finer are unquestionably rare. A premium quality coin in all regards, the present Gem is sharply struck and fully lustrous with a swirling cartwheel sheen. Mottled copper-russet iridescence drifts over the obverse and hugs the reverse periphery, and there are also some suggestions of electric-blue and crimson-russet colors at the obverse denticles. Housed in a second-generation green label PCGS slab. Population: 46 in 66, with a mere seven finer (12/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
