Notes:
The 1884-S Morgan Silver Dollar is one of the great rarities in the series in Uncirculated condition.  Prooflike examples are extremely rare and no Deep Mirror Prooflike has been graded by PCGS. The most "common" Uncirculated grade is a mere MS-62, followed closely by MS-61.  The finest examples graded by PCGS are a single MS-68 and a single MS-63 Deep Mirror Prooflike!
