1887-S $1

Coin / United States of America / 1887 / San Francisco / Morgan Dollars / $1 (One Dollar)

This tough San Francisco date is a popular coin that is very difficult to find in Gem grades. Only a small number are known in the MS66 levels or higher, and the situation is really no different for PLs and DMPLs, which are rare, with very few survivors in the MS65 levels.
