1890-S $1

Coin / United States of America / 1890 / San Francisco / Morgan Dollars / $1 (One Dollar)

This tougher S-mint Morgan dollar is widely available in the circulated levels and becomes notably scarce above MS64, proving rare in the Gem grade range. A few are known in MS67, and these realize huge premiums on the occasions they come to the market. PLs and DMPLs are scarce across the board and are genuinely rare in MS65 or above.
