jgrinz jgrinz TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 01/19/05 Posts: 6508 Loc: NE Patriots Country	Originally Posted By: BillJones There is one fly in the ointment. This is an 1881-S silver dollar, and nice examples of this coin are almost as common as sharks’ teeth. These coins were well made with many P-L examples, and large numbers of these coins are known in MS-64 and better. Getting a star on an 1881-S is not quite as hard as finding a 1970-D half dollar in a bank roll, but it’s close. +1 I do agree with the grade ... _________________________

Quite possibly the pinnacle of the minting craft in terms of 19th century business strikes. _________________________ Be a better person today than you were yesterday. Strive.

Walkerfan Walkerfan TOTAL NEWBIE, makes no sense and seems very paradoxical and counter-intuitive. Is it a very lame attempt at sarcastic humor?? If you have a dream about out-posting me, you better wake up and apologize. Registered: 10/07/09 Posts: 2852 Loc: USA	I agree that it is not a star worthy coin but it is still a nice common date MS example. _________________________ -Walker Aficionado- The journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.

The surfaces are quite PL in spots. Unfortunatly I will admit they are not 100% PL _________________________ CemoNICE
