Description
# 1885-S Morgan Dollar PCGS MS-65 - A Classic San Francisco Rarity. An exceptional 1885-S Morgan Dollar from the historic San Francisco Mint, graded a premium *PCGS MS-65* with certificate #56820533. This exemplary specimen represents a fascinating year in Morgan Dollar production, with a modest mintage of just 1,497,000 pieces. The coin exhibits the classic George T. Morgan design, struck in the traditional 90% silver composition. Numismatically significant, this particular example is among only 195 coins graded higher out of a total population of 701 certified pieces. Its lustrous surfaces and exceptional preservation make it a prized addition to any advanced Morgan Dollar collection. Historically notable, the 1885-S Morgan Dollar has an intriguing provenance. Limited mint releases, subsequent melting under the Pittman Act, and sporadic Treasury distributions have made high-grade examples increasingly scarce. The coin's frosty mint state and relatively clean surfaces distinguish it from typical examples of this issue, which are often characterized by significant bagmarks and weak strikes.
