Silver Dollar, 1879-S, PCGS MS 68 CAC

A splendid, mainly white specimen, with the faintest golden hue behind Liberty’s head. Well struck, and, as would be expected for the grade, virtually unblemished; what few faint marks that do exist are well hidden in the devices. Though not a rare issue, this is one of the most perfectly preserved examples, and scarce thus.

Certificate number: 1573550 (Generation 3.1 holder). PCGS records only seven finer pieces (all MS 68+) out of more than 100,000 submissions; NGC records none finer out of a similar number of submissions. CAC, in all designations, has certified over 2,400 examples of which seventy-nine are recorded at this level, and none finer. (02-18)
