***Auction Highlight*** 1881-s Near TOP POP Morgan Dollar $1 Graded ms68+ By SEGS. Within a half point of the finest known. Virtually pristine with outstanding visual appeal, this beautiful Morgan dollar is sharply struck and bathed in intense satin to semi-prooflike luster. Otherwise brilliant, both sides exhibit enhancing blushes of cobalt blue and reddish-apricot toning that are more extensive on the obverse. One of the quintessential type candidates in the Morgan silver dollar series of 1878 to 1921, the 1881-S is the most common of the early date issues in Mint State. Literally millions of the 12,760,000 coins struck remained in federal storage until released by the Treasury Department in 1938, during the 1950s and, especially, in the early to mid 1960s. Given their ready availability and the high standards of quality to which virtually all were produced, 1881-S dollars have been extremely popular with type collectors seeking a single Mint State coin to represent the Morgan dollar series. At the threshold of numismatic perfection, however, the example offered here is scarce from a condition standpoint. Indeed it is far better preserved than the vast majority of 1881-S dollars, the surfaces possessing equally superior eye appeal. For advanced numismatists who demand nothing less than the finest for their collections, the opportunity to acquire this exceptional Superb Gem should not be overlooked. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
