1881-S Morgan Dollar ($1)

Blazing, frosty luster rolls hard across both sides, framed by handsome peripheral color - champagne and wheat-gold with splashes of russet and a whisper of steel-blue at the rims. The cheek is notably clean for the grade, with only a tiny tick that keeps it from loftier territory, while the reverse is essentially pristine. Sharply defined with crisp, satiny fields and terrific cartwheel eye appeal. Housed in a CACG holder, which suits this better-than-gem-quality specimen perfectly.
