1896-S NGC MS-62.
|
|
Value for 1896-S is already high enough as it is in basic uncirculated grades, but makes enormous jumps for each additional grade point above MS-62. While the reverse appears to just barely meet... |

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.

Virtually 100% untoned except for an elongated area across the reverse that modulates into a hint of tan color. San Francisco dollars of this era often display much die polish and a greater number of... |

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 MS-64.

1896-S AU-55.

This San Francisco Mint specimen is resplendent and suggests a prooflike appearance. It is lightly hairlined, and there are a few scattered ticks. Wear is apparent on the highest design elements of... |

1896-S PCGS AU-53.
|
|
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,... |

1896-S MS-63.

This is a very tough coin to find in high grades. Lovely violet toning adorns the peripheries of both the obverse and reverse of this rare date. The fields are full of luster and highly reflective. ... |
