<B>1894-S S$1 MS66 PCGS.</B></I> VAM-1A. The obverse has a few die polishing lines including a heavy die scratch along the front edge of Liberty's eye. The 1894-S is infrequently encountered in the better Mint State grades. The Premium Gem specimen offered in this lot displays dazzling luster overrun with occasional splashes of lavender, cobalt-blue, and golden-brown coloration. The design elements show excellent definition, though slight softness is noted in the hair over Liberty's ear. A few minor scuffs on Liberty's cheek and neck are all that preclude an even higher grade.<BR> Auction appearances for coins in this ultimate grade vary widely over the last few years from a low of $6,325 in February 2005 to $34,500 in November of the same year. Only three other coins have appeared in public auction (all Heritage sales) in 2006 and 2007, and further confirm the wide swing in prices for high grade '94-S dollars. The prices for the other three coins were $7,475, $12,500, and $16,100. The listing of these recent auction prices underscores how perception plays a pivotal role in the ultimate price realized for this issue in this grade. It will be interesting to see how bidders perceive (and thus value) this piece and the other MS66 coin that is the main part of the catalog. Population: 9 in 66, 2 finer (2/07).<BR><I>From The Jackson Hole 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>)
