1896-S PCGS MS-62.
|
|
Platinum-white luster flows effortlessly from the vast majority of each side, ceding to a thin ring of tobacco-gold along the rims. Sharpness is outstanding overall, although the grade limiting... |

1896-S (VAM-6) PCGS MS-63.

Even collectors who do not pursue Morgan dollars might recognize 1896-S as a key to the series, since it is a low mintage issue in every silver series (especially quarters). An untoned and utterly... |

1896-S PCGS XF-45.

1896-S XF.
|
|
So temptingly close to the AU level, this XF-45 coin seems to have the right details, but seemingly lacks just slightly in terms of luster to allow for a bump up in grade (and doubling of value). ... |

1896-S NGC MS-61.

1896-S "Vam-8," PCGS MS-63.

1896-S AU-58.

The merest touch of rub separates this brilliant key date Morgan from a Choice BU grade – and a doubling of value. Indeed, the reverse appears fully Unc. The fastidious collector will note numerous... |

1896-S MS-63.

1896-S AU-55.

This coin is almost an MS-65. It has plenty of rolling luster, very few marks, and minimal wear. There is no toning, and the coin is pleasing battleship gray in color. I know you need this coin for... |

1896-S NGC MS-63.

Clearly a choice specimen for the grade, it displays a hearty lustrous aspect. Characteristically, this coin has a softness of strike above Liberty's ear and on the Eagle's breast feathers. However,... |
