1883-S
.
PCGS graded MS-64
. A fully white coin. In the way
that the 1884-S is a conditionally rare issue the same can be
said, to a lesser degree, for the elusive 1883-S. Circulated coins
are common. However, in Mint condition, the '83-S availability
seems to have mostly vaporized, depending on the particular
coin's proximity to the MS65 grade level. This impressive MS64
quality representative is untoned with blasts of white glowing
luster in the fields. The balance of the features are richly
frosted, including Liberty’s profile, while the strike is typically
sharp for this San Francisco Mint date. Nothing to worry about
there. The number of scattered abrasions is few and far
between for the assigned grade. Definitely one to consider if
you are assembling a Morgan dollar date and mint set.

1884
.
PCGS graded Proof 64
. Light golden toning. Only 875
minted. A spot-free coin whose toning color shames just about
any lesser Proof silver coin of this year. Sheer boldness of detail
throughout would be the ideal for a Morgan Dollar, and this coin
meets or exceeds the requirement since it met the challenge to
strike completely; the design left by the rebound of the dies is
in an excellent state at the centers as well as the throughout
the legends and date. Only a small area of hair detail is lacking
over Liberty's ear.

1884-CC
.
PCGS graded MS-65 Prooflike.
CAC Approved
.
A dazzling white coin with reflective fields offsetting the frostier
appearing devices. Quite likely struck from new or relatively
new dies, judging by the mirror surface. (As dies wear from
striking more and more coins, they develop the familiar coin
"luster". Most dies prior to the 20th Century were buffed to a
semi-mirror polish before being installed in the coining press.
After 100 to 200 strikes, however, this polished surface would
turn to luster on further strikes. (

Estimated Value ................................................... $450 - 500
