1879-S and 1881-S, both NGC MS-65.

1879-S NGC MS-66+.
|
|
Checkered Collection. Sensational snow-white quality shimmers with untoned beauty and a hint of cameo frost on the portrait. Tiny abrasions on the bridge of Liberty's nose may be what decided the... |

|
1879-S ANACS MS-65 PL, and an 1884 ANACS MS-63 CAMEO PL.
|
|
Bradford Pear Collection. The 1884 does in fact show stronger prooflike contrast than its 1879-S companion, and evidently "The New ANACS" uses a "cameo" descriptor on such high-contrast prooflike... |

| 854 | The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013 | $600.00 |
|
1879-S NGC MS-66, 1882-S MS-66+ CAC.
|
|
Certainly neither date is rare even at MS-66, though the 1882-S picks up a "plus" and a sticker that emphasize exceptionally clean surfaces. Both are blazing white coins, with 1879-S showing some... |

1879-S NGC MS-67, plus a second 1879-S NGC MS-64 Star.
|
|
7070 Collection. A few small dark spots drizzle here and there upon the MS-67 coin, and without them, this could become MS-68, as the quality is simply entirely "there", from an almost impossible... |

1879-S NGC MS-65+, and an 1884-O NGC MS-65.
|

Clem Stevens Collection. Extremely white coins will look right at home among untoned pieces, as they have not the slightest tint of color anywhere. Despite production at different mints, these are... |

|
Four 1879-S PCGS MS-64.
|
|
Perhaps PCGS should consider a "PL obverse" designation, as each of these would easily qualify, and one of the coins also seems to be nearly prooflike on the reverse. All are blistering white and... |
|
| 692 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $450.00 |
|
Two 1879-S NGC MS-66.

|
1879-S, 1880-S, and 1898-O, all PCGS MS-66.
|
|
Though common dates, these should provide nice upgrades for many collectors focused on PCGS coins. 1879-S and 1880-S are both blast-white and incredibly well struck as usual, the latter coin showing... |

|
1879-S NGC MS-66 star, and an 1881-S NGC MS-66.
|
|
NGC's "star" often denotes prooflike properties, and indeed the screaming white 1879-S dollar flashes a fully prooflike obverse. 1881-S shows off pure snow-white satiny mint frost and stellar... |

| 695 | The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012 | $310.00 |
|
1879-S NGC MS-66+ CAC.
|

The reverse easily grades MS-67, while the obverse retains amazingly clean fields, and both sides offer a hint of prooflike character. Perhaps a couple of tiny luster grazes on the cheek and neck... |

A gorgeous band of beaming rainbow tones decorates the right side of 1879-S, and slivers across the upper right reverse as well. The phrase "colorfully toned" takes on a whole new level with regard... |

1879-S NGC MS-66 PL.

Three 1879-S NGC MS-65.

1879-S NGC MS-67+.
|
|
The wire brushed appearance of the reverse derives from a freshly polished die, and both sides offer considerable prooflike quality, probably deserving of "star" consideration. Instead, NGC used a... |

Twenty 1879-S Morgan dollars, Uncirculated.

1879-S and 1880-S.

|
The 1879-S is graded MS-66 in an older ANACS holder, and the 1880-S is graded MS-65 in a PCGS green label holder. Aside from "grade", the 1879-S is far and away the jewel of this lot, featuring... |

1879-S and 1881-S NGC.

1879-S NGC MS-66*.

1879-S and 1902-S Morgan dollars, PCGS MS-64.

1879-S Morgan dollars, NGC MS-64
