$1 1882S NGC MS65*

After purchasing the MONSTER Sonnier Collection of colored Dollars, its really hard for us to get excited about the typical coins we see at shows. However this beauty walked up to us via a collector well known for his keen eye with colored Morgans. So we had to buy it!

Technically, the coin is solid for the grade. There are NO major hits-just a few tiny scattered ticks. Miss Liberty and the details are fully struck. The luster in mind boggling. Now about the colors: they are killers! This coin is very close to what Sonnier had. The obverse has a partial crescent of neon green/violet on the left. The remainder of the obverse is bathed in gorgeous pale gold and electric pale blue colors. The reverse has reddish gold by the rims only. Mother nature did some of her best work here. The eye appeal is awesome!
