1888 $1

Coin / United States of America / 1888 / Philadelphia / Morgan Dollars / $1 (One Dollar)

This is a very common Philadelphia-mint coin in all grades up through MS65, with MS66s scarce and MS67s quite rare. PLs and DMPLs are challenging in any grade for this issue, but their scarcity becomes quite noticeable in the Gem range, where few are known -- only a few are known in DMPLMS67, putting great pressure on the very tiny number of DMPLMS66 survivors.
