1902-S $1

Coin / United States of America / 1902 / San Francisco / Morgan Dollars / $1 (One Dollar)

The 1902-S Morgan dollar is a tougher date but one that shows up frequently enough in the marketplace to be had at a price. This piece becomes especially scarce above a grade of MS64, and it is rare in MS66 or higher. PLs are scarcer, and DMPLs are known but virtually esoteric.
