General Notes: The 1885-S is a tough date, particularly in better circulated grades and especially in MS levels. In MS65, this piece becomes quite scarce and rare in higher grades, with only a handful of MS67s that each inspire fervent bidding when the scarce opportunities come to buy them. PLs are very rare, and DMPLs are exceptionally rare, with only a tiny few known in any grade.
