1887-S Morgan Silver Dollar PCGS MS65+ CAC Simpson Pedigree Scarce Gem Toned

This is a stunning 1887-S Morgan Silver Dollar, certified by PCGS as MS65+ and further distinguished by the CAC green sticker, signifying superior quality for its grade. Adding further prestige, the coin carries the Simpson pedigree, placing it among pieces once part of one of the most renowned U.S. coin collections.

Struck at the San Francisco Mint, the 1887-S issue is a scarcer date in the Morgan Dollar series, with relatively low survival in Gem condition compared to other years and mints. The obverse features Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with wheat and cotton, symbolic of American agriculture, while the reverse displays a majestic bald eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, framed by a laurel wreath.

This example exhibits rich original toning along the rims, with an appealing blend of golden, copper, and subtle rainbow hues, enhancing its eye appeal and collectability. The San Francisco “S” mintmark is prominently seen beneath the wreath on the reverse.

With its combination of Gem+ grade, CAC approval, and Simpson pedigree, this coin represents a rare opportunity for advanced collectors to acquire a premium Morgan Dollar with both condition and provenance elevating its desirability.
