1895-S Morgan $1 PCGS MS65
<b>1895-S Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded MS65.</b> A lustrous example whose vivid wintry blast of white color undulates and billows across the surface like a Himalayan avalanche. What&#39;s more, there are few of the usual distractions found, to make a point of it, there are only a few widely spaced bagmarks on the surface. In winding this up, we are pleased to see also a strike faithful to every detail from a full blow by the dies, with marvelously crisp detail found at hair, the eagle&#39;s breast and leg feathers, everywhere that grading matters!

In his 1993 book entitled &#34;Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States,&#34; Q. David Bowers explains that a few bags of 1895-S dollars were released by the San Francisco Mint in 1942, and some continued to be paid out through the early 1950s. Many of these circulated through the channels of commerce or went to casinos. By the mid 1950s, 1895-S was considered to be a rare date. In the 1970s, the Redfield estate contained an estimated 1,000 pieces of this issue, most of which were well bagmarked or damaged by a coin counting machine.

Bowers estimates that 3,500 to 8,000 1895-S pieces exist in Uncirculated grades. The vast majority of these are in grades lower than Mint State 63. A gem MS65 or better specimen is today rarely seen or offered for sale, with an estimate of 50 to 100 extant pieces.
