1897-S Morgan Dollar ($1)

The 1897-S Morgan dollar is an intriguing issue from the San Francisco Mint. While not suuuuper rare (a mintage of 5.5 million pieces), finding true gem examples with CAC approval is considerably more challenging, especially with the blazing luster displayed on this example.

This MS65+ specimen graded by PCGS with CAC approval is truly exceptional. The coin exhibits intense luster that sweeps uninterrupted across pristine surfaces. Both the obverse and reverse fields show remarkable cleanliness with minimal bag marks - a significant achievement for a Morgan dollar of this era. The strike is bold and complete, with fully defined hair details over Liberty's ear and sharp eagle feathers on the reverse. The brilliant white surfaces and outstanding eye appeal make this a standout example worthy of the most discriminating collection.
