Description

# 1881-S Morgan Dollar NGC MS-62 PL. An exceptional Prooflike Morgan Silver Dollar from the historic San Francisco Mint, this *MS-62 PL* specimen represents a remarkable example of late 19th-century American coinage. Struck during a pivotal era of western mint production, this coin showcases the exquisite craftsmanship characteristic of the Morgan dollar series. The prooflike surfaces exhibit remarkable reflectivity, with deeply mirrored fields that contrast beautifully against the coin's raised design elements. NGC has certified this piece with a MS-62 grade, indicating a coin with strong mint luster and minimal marks typical of its era. With a population of just 450 coins at this grade level, this example represents a scarce and collectible specimen for discerning numismatists. Technical Specifications: - Mint: San Francisco (S). - Year: 1881. - Metal Composition: 90% Silver, 10% Copper. - Grading Service: NGC. - Certification Number: *6969411002*. - Special Designation: Prooflike (PL). Provenance and Rarity: The total population of 12,500 graded examples makes this coin a noteworthy addition to any serious Morgan dollar collection. With only 1,250 coins graded higher, this *MS-62 PL* represents an excellent opportunity for collectors seeking a high-quality representative of this iconic silver dollar type. Estimated Value: $850 according to current price guides, with potential for appreciation given its exceptional prooflike surfaces and limited population.
