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,... |

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... |

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... |

1881-S NGC MS-66 Star.

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... |
