A green bean adds real money to a coin like this. Right now there isn't one on the holder — which is exactly why it's priced where it is. A CAC-stickered MS66 of this caliber runs around $1,150 and up. Buy it direct here at $995 with free shipping — 5% under our eBay price — before it goes to CAC. Submit it yourself and capture the upside, or simply own a gem-toned S-mint dollar at a pre-sticker number. Either way, the discount lives in the gap.
And this is a coin worth stickering. A crescent of color sweeps the obverse — magenta into violet into blue, gold at the rim — and it rolls under light. Not a static stain; living color. The cheek, the spot graders punish hardest on a Morgan, is clean. That combination — clean cheek plus rolling crescent color in an MS66 OGH — is the profile that beans.
Honest about what it is: the color lives on one side of the obverse; the balance of the coin and the entire reverse are bright original white. A one-sided monster — monster-grade color on the toned sweep, gem white everywhere else. Not a two-sided showpiece, and not priced like one.
Top rung of the 1881-S ladder. White MS66s trade near $300; full two-sided monsters clear well past a thousand. This sits near the top of that range before the sticker that would push it higher.
PCGS 7130.66/1501955. Strong CAC candidate, not yet submitted. Buy direct and save versus eBay — 5% off and free shipping. Coin available while listed; in-hand viewing and more photos on request.
