|
1895-S NGC VF-30.
|
|
Sometimes, a coin is "picture perfect" for the grade, and such is the case here. Details are just a trifle to flat over the ear and at the eagle's breast to allow for the XF level, though elsewhere... |

|
1895-S PCGS AU-50.
|
|
Rich olive-blue patina drapes the obverse, with the reverse dressed mostly in slightly uneven ash-grey and silver tones. In higher grade, either circulation strike for 1895 presents a challenge to... |

1895-S F, and a 1903-S XF.
|
|
Marshmallow Collection. Much better San Francisco dollars make up this circulated trio, and both are reasonably nice, vintage quality pieces. 1895-S shows considerable wear, yet the details are more... |

|
1895-S PCGS F-12.

|
Deep navy-blue patina contends with rich sienna-grey for supremacy over each side, embellished by a very slightly glossy effect overall. There is no question whatsoever as to the vintage surface... |

|
1895-S VF.
|
|
Roman Powers Collection. Reasonably original despite slightly glossy surfaces, details fall very close to the XF level. VF-35 should be an appropriate grade overall. A faint near-vertical... |

|
1895-S NGC MS-60.
|
|
Up through the AU grades, 1895-S beats out the New Orleans issue for higher value, but though it certainly escalates above MS-60, the New Orleans coin jumps rapidly into the stratosphere. Thus, date... |

|
1895-S PCGS F-12.
|
|
A hole often left blank in typical album collections that come over the counter, the 1895-S remains affordable at the Fine level, but demands a formidable premium in just the next grade up (VF). ... |

1895-S AU details/cleaned.
|
|
At first glance, this semi-key has very much the appearance of a lightly circulated proof, with underlying reflectivity that emanates from the fields. Some blueberry iridescence has settled into the... |

|
Four 1895-S Morgan dollars.
|
|
A quartet of 1895-S dollars all bear uncanny resemblance to one another, which comes as no surprise since they are all fully original coins with moderate to heavy wear. Conservatively, these should... |

|
1895-S ANACS F-15.
|
|
Bold details exemplify a coin just on the cusp of "the next grade up", as many potential bidders would guess this to be a VF coin out of the holder. Faints hint of glossy olive-grey undertone breaks... |

| 734 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2012 on 07/27/2012 | $1,950.00 |
|
1895-S NGC AU-55.
|
|
The obverse is undeniably close to UNC and was likely semi-prooflike at the time of manufacture, as some reflectivity still emanates from the extreme periphery. Heavy patina layers over the reverse... |

| 798 | The Collectors' Auction 2011 on 10/21/2011 | $8,250.00 |
|
1895-S PCGS MS-64.
|
|
PCGS population statistics don't lie when it comes to the 1895-S in high grade: 358 are in MS-64 holders, with only 32 graded higher (and NGC has put barely half these numbers into the same grade... |

|
1895-S ANACS F-15.
|
|

|
1895-S (VAM-2) PCGS XF-45.
|
|
A little luster scuffles around the peripheral lettering, but makes very little headway into the fields, even on the reverse. The only noticeable wear is in the usual areas, above Liberty's ear and... |
|
| 708 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $625.00 |
|
1895-S VF.
|
|
Details are at the upper end of VF, but this coin may have been "soap and watered" at one time, leaving a hint of glossy texture in the fields. VF-20 is probably a suitable net assessment overall. ... |

| 833 | The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010 | $1,550.00 |
|
Four 1895-S.

1895-S VF.

1895-S VAM-4 NGC MS-65 PL.
|
|
The typical 1895-S Morgan dollar is not well struck, it is not usually found prooflike, and it is certainly not typical to locate outstanding examples in high grade. For that matter, one might not... |

| 630 | The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010 | $575.00 |
|
1895-S PCGS VF-20.
|
|
The PCGS grade of VF-20 conveys the level of detail and overall appearance of this semi-key Morgan with pinpoint accuracy, given that it is a strictly original and problem-free coin. At this level,... |

|
1895-S PCGS MS-63.
|

|
1895-S PCGS XF-45

1895-S PCGS VF-30.

1895-S XF.

|
1895-S XF, cleaned.
|

1895-S PCGS MS-63.

|
1895-S Morgan dollar F-15
|
|
A curious relationship exists between the 1895-O and 1895-S in that the latter coin is more valuable in grades below MS-60, while above that point, the New Orleans skyrockets in value by comparison to... |

1895-S Morgan dollar, NGC MS-63

1895-S AU-50.
