$1 1881-S PCGS MS68+

$11,750.00

What a coin! What a price!

We bought this stunning REAL MS68+ GEM out of our 1/2020 sale for a record low price of $10,575.00.. We had no intentions of buying it until the gavel was coming down and it was like -really? HAD TO BUY IT!

Here is the description from the sale:

This coin is as close to an MS69 as you can get. Some way, some how, this coin sat undisturbed 139 years. For a Dollar to be this way, that nearly impossible!

Awesome sleek surfaces are as clean as clean can be. Only when using a strong glass can you detect a light frost break or two. The surfaces offer a nearly blinding, booming and full cartwheel luster with traces of semi-prooflike mirrors. WOW! Both sides are a crisp silver white color. We do not think this coin has been messed with in any way. Miss Liberty and every detail are fully struck and stand out. Her check will more thrill any “old timers” harshest expectations. The eye appeal of this coin is incredible!

PCGS 182, NGC 312, CAC 107. PCGS has graded 21 in MS68+. There are 2 MS69’s possible (we have seen one and want to buy it)! The last one of these to sell in auction brought $12,925 in September 2019. The market weakened a bit as there had been a small surge in + grading in early 2019 (which clearly has subsided). We know there are few if any MS68+ coins on the market now. Even if there were, we stand behind this coin when saying it beats all others! We can see this coin easily beating the Current Collectors Universe Value of $15,500. A PCGS CAC MS69 today-easily $75,000.00+ -and in auction, OMG, “beyond Pluto money”!!!!

This is a coin we want to own again. Hopefully it will land in a great home we know of.
