***Auction Highlight*** 1881-s Morgan Dollar $1 Graded GEM++ PL By USCG. 151.1 grains. Glossy light olive brown with faint woodgrain striations in the fields as seen on other high grade specimens of this variety. Outlines of lustrous light steely gray are noted around the devices and through some of the legends. A thin linear planchet flaw passes through the first O of COMMON, extending into the field. Light porosity in the planchet around the peripheries might at once appear environmental in nature, but it is in fact natural, as this characteristic is seen on other high quality examples of this variety including the lovely Gem Mint State coins in the Newman and Patrick collections. Well struck with only minor softness at the lower right obverse. It is worth noting that PCGS has only ever certified 1 other example as the 1-D A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
