1885-S PCGS MS-65.

A more difficult piece in grades of MS-60 or better, 1885-S generally follows the prior half-dozen years in terms of "San Francisco quality" in terms of attractive luster. This example, though, does... |

1885-S PCGS MS-64 (green label).
|

1885-S PCGS MS-64.

1885-S PCGS MS-63+ and 1890-O PCGS MS-64PL.

1885/5-S (VAM-2) NGC MS-64.

1885-S PCGS MS-65.

1885-S PCGS MS-64.
|
The obverse is atypically the stronger side of this 1885-S, which means the overall appearance will actually seem a little nicer than the MS-64 grade to most observers, since they predictably tend to... |

Glistening eye appeal is bolstered by an exceptional strike and a somewhat semi-prooflike obverse, while both sides remain entirely untoned. Trivial marks only account for the grade, including a... |
