Lot #AuctionCurrent Bid or Hammer PriceDescription
834The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$775.00
1881-S PCGS MS-64, and an 1899 NGC MS-65.
Brock Megran Collection. A small patch of schmutz at the bottom of Liberty's jaw for 1899 does nothing to affect eye-appeal, and this ivory-white dollar otherwise stands out as an impeccable gem,...
835The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$320.00
1881-S ANACS MS-65, 1898 NGC MS-64, and an 1899 PCGS MS-62.
Berry Tree Collection. 1881-S shows a slender little crescent of color along the obverse upper right, which accents the extremely lustrous eye-appeal. Marvelous satin-white surfaces mark the 1898 as...
836The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$260.00
1881-S PCGS MS-65PL.
Mile High Collection. Almost embarrassingly attractive for the mere "prooflike" level, the obverse appeal rivals that of any true proof, and another grading service might "star" this mind-blowing gem...
837The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$360.00
1881-S NGC MS-66, and a 1902-O NGC MS-65+.
Checkered Collection. Possibly, the difference between MS-66 and MS-65+ equals 1/2 of a grade? Perhaps nobody knows, and likely nobody cares when the quality is this close between a pair of original...
780The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$775.00
1881-S NGC MS-66, 1885-O PCGS MS-66 CAC, and an 1898-O NGC MS-66.
Bradford Pear Collection. Irrespective of grading service, each seems well worth the MS-66 grade, as none of these shows any particular technical deficiency. 1881-S gleams with pure white brilliance...
781The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$525.00
1881-S NGC MS-66 Star.
An absolutely sparkling, multi-faceted jewel, a couple of factors probably locked in the NGC "star" designation. That vibrant luster provides the "wow" factor, while a vivid splash of rainbow toning...
782The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$400.00
1881-S NGC MS-66 PL.
If this silver dollar were plugged into a car battery, it could scarcely produce more electrifying excitement than it already does! NGC's "prooflike" designation barely describes the exceedingly...
783The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$825.00
1881-S NGC MS-67 PL.
Extremely sharp with a strike that is second to none. Outrageous swirling bands of luster throw prodigious brilliance around the fields, surrounding the central devices with marvelous illumination. ...
874The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$525.00
1881-S PCGS MS-65 (rattler), and an 1884-CC PCGS MS-65 (green label).
A pair of gem Morgan dollars, 1881-S features the usual silky-smooth surface quality over gleaming white brilliance. 1884-CC shows tantalizing semi-prooflike quality on the obverse, with both sides...
875The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$475.00
1881-S, 1887, and 1904-O, all NGC MS-65 (no line).
Not only are these highly esteemed "no line" NGC holders, but the latter two also feature the very desirable "embossed back" slabs that become scarcer and scarcer with each passing day. 1881-S shows...
876The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$425.00
1881-S, 1884-O, and1885-O, all PCGS MS-65 (green label).
Not only do the PCGS slabs match up to the "green label" generation, but the coins within look like identical triplets at first glance. All three feature booming, frosty white luster and snow...
877The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$500.00
1881-S NGC MS-66 Star, and an 1886 NGC MS-64 Star.
1881-S clearly earned the "star" due to a DMPL obverse paired against a borderline prooflike reverse, leading to fabulous eye-appeal. The 1886 has provenance to the very famous Battle Creek...
878The Collectors' Auction 2013 on 10/18/2013$550.00
1881-S NGC MS-66 (no line).
This has to be one of the most outrageous toners in today's sale, not so much because of ridiculous color or an absurd level of luminescence, but rather because of the extremes shown by the virtually...
974The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$403.00
Two 1881-S and two 1884-O, all PCGS MS-65 (green label).
Arlington, TX Bank Box Consignment. Same-generation slabs each show a grade of MS-65, and the coins are all silver-white, except that one 1884-O shows a fragile layer of pearl-grey patina. Four coin...
975The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$290.00
1881-S PCGS MS-65, 1882-O NGC MS-64, and an 1883-O PCGS MS-64.
Mike Wrinkle Collection. 1881-S displays breathless luster and very tasteful cobalt and cinnamon-gold toning up against the rims. 1882-O has some toast-gold color along the left border, while 1883-O...
976The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$625.00
1881-S NGC MS-65 DPL.
Hammered off of extremely early dies, Liberty's cheek displays an incredibly beautiful blooming, frosted effect as the coin is tilted front to back under strong illumination. Fields illuminate the...
772The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011$1,100.00
Twenty 1881-S.
Of course, any quantity of 1881-S Morgan dollars is going to be visually impressive, but those seen in sheets are definitely better than typical quality. The average grade is easily MS-64, and a...
855The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$625.00
Four 1881-S NGC MS-65.
Stunning, untoned silvery radiance emanates from three of these marvelous GEMs, while the last displays a thin, yet strangely vivid ring of toning right up against the rim, as well as a hint of...
856The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$825.00
1881-S NGC MS-67 Star, CAC.
Quicksilver fields contrast well with Liberty's portrait, cloning the appearance of a proof with deadly precision. The reverse is unbelievably interesting, since that die had to have been freshly...
650The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$260.00
1881-S NGC MS-66.
Apparently this is VAM-17, judging by the die chips on either side of the first "8", but the repunched mintmark does not precisely match the given VAM description. This must surely have been an...
651The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$550.00
1881-S NGC MS-67.
The cheek and neck are absolutely devoid of all but a couple of the most minuscule of ticks imaginable, and this is pretty much a requirement of such a lofty grade (MS-67, per NGC). Flawless,...
766The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$625.00
Six 1881-S PCGS MS-65 (rattler).
1881-S is by far one of the most common Morgan dollar at the gem grade level, and all of these are in PCGS rattler holders. Each shimmers with the expected gleaming silvery luster and is blast...
767The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$180.00
1881-S PCGS MS-65.
As usual, each sides displays exceedingly sharp details, including full delineation of hair curls over Liberty's ear, but not so usual is the luscious fruity toning that envelops each side. The...
768The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$925.00
1881-S NGC MS-67 Star.
Imagine plucking the color of a blue spruce pine right out of the pristine winter wilderness and applying that hue to the obverse of a spectacular superb gem Morgan dollar, and such artistic...
584The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$1,050.00
1881-S NGC MS-67.
A mind-boggling ultra-frosted gem, this amazing MS-67 silver dollar exceeds expectations even for an 1881-S. While the reverse approaches perfection, the obverse displays no contact marks of note,...
579The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$750.00
Twenty uncirculated 1881-S.
A tube of glistening, choice silver 1881-S Morgans, all beaming with the classic look of this issue. Very choice!
580The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$300.00
1880-S, 1881-S PCGS MS-65, and 1881-S NGC MS-65 NGC MS-65.
Personalities mingle in this trio of common Morgan dollars, all of them gems. A blast white 1880-S is graded MS-65 by NGC, and an 1881-S that is one-half shade off-white is graded MS-65 by PCGS. The...
581The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$550.00
1881-S NGC MS-67.
Handsome rim toning touches the top of the obverse and the bottom reverse, resulting in a coin with fully original eye-appeal. Both sides glisten with the luster customarily expected of 1881-S.
582The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$550.00
1881-S NGC MS-67.
Fully bright, fully frosty, fully lustrous, and with surfaces befitting the grade. What this coin's date lacks in rarity, it makes up for in quality.
583The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$575.00
1881-S PCGS MS-67.
Lightly veneered in silver-beige tone, with underlying brilliance that has come to be expected of 1881-S. Housed in a PCGS green-label holder.
584The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$1,050.00
Two 1881-S PCGS MS-67.
A pair of 1881-S Morgan dollars, both graded MS-67 in PCGS green-label holders. One coin is nearly pristine, with just the faintest impression of patina, while the other features a touch more haze. ...
585The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$550.00
1881-S PCGS MS-67.
Sensational in virtually all regards. The luster is vibrant, the originality is attested to by a thin segment of toning that hugs the top-right quarter of the reverse periphery, and the relief...
925The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$260.00
1881-S and 1904-O NGC MS-65.
NGC has certified both of these coins, grading the 1881-S MS-65 PL, and the 1904-O MS-65. The latter coin features seductive rim toning that is especially noticeable on the reverse. Two coin lot.
926The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$550.00
1881-S NGC MS-67.
Amazingly well preserved and devoid of any negative issues that could detract from the lofty MS-67 grade. Completely struck and completely silvery-white.
927The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$550.00
1881-S NGC MS-67.
Flamboyant luster coruscates over fully struck devices, completely unimpeded by any toning. Probably as fully struck as a Morgan dollar can be.
928The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$600.00
1881-S NGC MS-67.
The strongest possible impression has been provided for this amazingly sharp and fully struck 1881-S Morgan dollar, housed in an NGC no line holder and graded MS-67. Luminescent silvery-white fields...
760The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$270.00
1881-S NGC MS-66 PL.
The expected high quality appearance of the 1881-S Morgan dollar is familiar to just about everyone, and this one exceeds expectations. Pronounced reflectivity in the fields provides a suitable...
628The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$750.00
1881-S, 1882-S, and 1882-CC, PCGS.
Dominant, velvety burnt-orange color is occasionally relieved by royal-blue on both sides of an 1881-S Morgan dollar, graded MS-66 by PCGS. An 1882-S graded MS-65 in a rattler holder, and an 1882-CC...
629The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$360.00
1881-S (lot of six) Morgan dollars, PCGS MS-64.
Half a dozen 1881-S Morgan dollars in identical PCGS rattler holders are all identically graded MS-64. Coincidentally, each coin is identically blast white and identically well struck. Scotsman...
630The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$240.00
Two 1881-S NGC MS-64.
This pair of 1881-S Morgan dollars could be the closest thing Numismatics has to "Siamese Twins". One is graded MS-64, and the other MS-64*, although your cataloger would contend that these should...
631The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$315.00
1881-S PCGS MS-65.
An extraordinary mélange of deep cyan, Pacific blue, sea-green, cinnamon-red and magenta pigment swirls and intertwines in a remarkable pattern that could only have been caused by the end of a paper...
632The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$475.00
1881-S and 1886 Morgan dollars, NGC MS-66.
Both of the Morgan dollars in this lot are superlative gems, graded MS-66 by NGC. The 1881-S features the classic steely-silver luster that the issue is famous for, and as one would expect, it has a...
633The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$320.00
1881-S PCGS MS-66.
Four prominent marks on the eagle's breast are a surprise, but the obverse is undeniably pristine and frosty-brilliant. Innumerable tiny raised bumps on Liberty's portrait indicate the use of a well...
634The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$625.00
1881-S NGC MS-67.
This superb gem cannot have missed a prooflike designation by much, as the fields are reflective and glassy smooth, and there is distinct cameo contrast on either side. Perhaps "SPL" (semi-prooflike)...
635The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$625.00
1881-S NGC MS-67.
The 1881-S Morgan dollar has a well deserved reputation for always being nice, but the example offered here, graded MS-67 by NGC, is an absolutely mind-boggling superb gem. If a Morgan could be struck...
666The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$500.00
Tube of 1881-S Morgan dollars
A typically beautiful roll of original, but probably only average quality 1881-S Morgan dollars since a couple of coins or so grade only MS-61 to MS-62 (the majority are "choice"). As is often the...
667The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$290.00
1881-S and six additional PCGS certified Morgan dollars. Unc.
Common date Morgan dollars comprise this lot. We grade them as follows: 1881-S (MS-63), 1900-O (MS-63), 1901-O (MS-63), 1902 (MS-63), 1903 (MS-64), 1921-S (MS-63), and 1923-D (MS-63). Seven coin...
668The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$200.00
1881-S and 1886 toned Morgan dollars MS-63
Although 1881-S and 1886 are very common dates for Morgan dollars, each example offered here is an uncommonly attractive piece. The 1881-S is untoned on the reverse, but the obverse is dominated with...
669The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$500.00
1881-S (tube) roll of Morgan dollars Unc.
Evidently a "made" roll, as the edges do not match, and a couple or so of the coins are "sliders". Generally, though, these are uncirculated coins grading from MS-61 through MS-63, with a couple that...
670The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$250.00
1881-S (lot of six) PCGS MS-64 Morgan dollars
A half-dozen 1881-S Morgan dollars, all grading MS-64 and most appearing at least prooflike. Two of the coins are very obvious candidates for resubmission. Six coin lot.

1881-S PCGS MS-66.
Utterly pristine liquid-metal fields are thoroughly drenched in sunset gold and sky blue colors that instill the fascinating impression of a masterful watercolor painting upon the viewer. A...
741The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$200.00
1881-S NGC MS-66.
It is presumed that half of this date's original mintage survives in Mint State. This superbly struck specimen's obverse exhibits an astounding contrast between its gleaming, satinlike surfaces and...
742The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$650.00
1881-S NGC MS-67.
Most any uncirculated 1881-S Morgan dollar will be an attractive coin, but at the Superb Gem level, few coins in American numismatics are more sublime as type examples. Not only does the subject...
735The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$290.00
Three 1881-S ANACS MS-65.
This is a boldly struck trio from the quintessential year for this dollar design type, with one being ascribed as VAM-28. Each has a superb brilliance with variances in their captivating russet...
736The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$270.00
Three MS-65 Silver Dollars. ANACS MS-65.
This group includes two 1881-S MS-65 dollars, and one 1922 MS-65 dollar. One of the 1881-S dollars is brilliant, and one is toned in lovely russet hues. The Peace Dollar is a solid original MS-65. ...
737The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$575.00
1881-S and 1886 NGC MS-66 and MS-66 Star Respectively.
A nice pair of high-grade rainbow-toned Morgan Dollars. The 1881-S could perhaps have also qualified for a prooflike designation.
642The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$575.00
Roll of 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollars.
All of these coins have highly reflective fields and show strongly struck devices. They range in grade from MS-63 to MS-64.
643The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$350.00
1881-S NGC MS-66.
Rainbow tones of electric blue, magenta, green, and violet can be observed on the obverse of this primo Morgan Dollar. The reverse is blazing white.
644The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$550.00
1881-S NGC MS-66 PL.
Flashy mirrorlike fields, frosty devices, and mostly clean surfaces come together wonderfully on this Gem. Great detail is on display.
815The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$750.00
Twenty 1881-S. Mint State.
The surfaces on many of these dollars are extremely reflective and nearly approach the qualification of being full prooflike. A number of them would easily grade in the MS-63 to MS-65 grade range,...
816The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$350.00
Two 1881-S NGC MS-65 PL.
A wonderful contrast is displayed on this pair of relatively common San Francisco Branch Mint issues. The glistening, reflective fields support the frosty white devices creating a remarkable visual...
750The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$270.00
Two 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollars. NGC MS-65.
One of the examples is completely covered on the obverse with a beautiful array of bright Earth colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, and blue can all be seen. Both coins contain full mint luster.
751The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$675.00
Three 1881-S NGC MS-66.
If you look at this trio of coins for too long, you could be in danger of temporarily losing your sight. Yes, the flash is that intense. One example is completely frosty on both sides, while the...
752The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$0.00
1881-S NGC MS-66.
A relatively common date from the San Francisco Branch Mint with phenomenal tones of gold, blue, and rose on the obverse, blended to present an incredible eye appeal. The reverse is satiny white and...
753The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$700.00
1881-S NGC MS-67.
It is not uncommon to find an 1881-S nice, but not necessarily this nice. The detail is remarkable, as is the luster presence. The coin is not perfect, so you will see a few minor contact marks, but...
