General Notes: The 1882-S Morgan dollar is an extremely common coin in all grades through MS67, though above that it becomes markedly scarcer. While rare, there are examples grading MS68 and even higher, and in fact this is one of the more affordable, if one can use that term here, of the MS68 Morgan dollars available. PLs are more common than DMPLs, though both types are very rare in the Gem levels. PCGS #: 7140 NGC ID: 254F
