Breathtaking Mint State 66+

This 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar received the grade of Mint State 66 from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) for its remarkably sharp strike, beautifully finished surfaces and outstanding amount of original Mint luster. The coin was also awarded the designation of "Plus," which describes the silver dollar's magnificent eye appeal. The coin is sonically sealed in a protective holder accompanied by a NGC green certification label, which was developed as a collaborative effort between the NGC and RARCOA (Rare Coin Company of America). The presence of the green label is indication that in addition to the NGC's assessment, the coin first met or surpassed a set of quality guidelines created by RARCOA's independent team of numismatic experts regarding strike, luster and eye appeal.
