1883-S $1 Morgan Dollar PCGS MS62

The 1883-S Morgan Dollar is a notable issue in the series, especially in Mint State grades. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin features sharp design elements typical of the branch mint’s high production standards, though Mint State examples are considerably scarcer than their circulated counterparts.

Graded MS62 by PCGS, this coin exhibits full, uncirculated detail with moderate contact marks consistent with the grade. Luster is present and generally frosty, though possibly a bit subdued in areas due to the number of abrasions. The strike is above average for the issue, with strong definition on Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s breast feathers.

While common in lower circulated grades, the 1883-S becomes significantly more difficult to locate in Mint State, particularly above MS63. This MS62 example offers collectors a desirable balance between condition and value.
