Notes:
The 1891-S Morgan Silver Dollar is easily obtained in all grades including Gem.  Prooflikes and Deep Mirror Prooflikes are scarce; both become rare in Gem condition.  The most frequently seen Uncirculated grade is MS-63, followed by MS-64 and MS-62, in that order.  The finest examples certified by PCGS are 7 MS-67's, a single MS-66 Prooflike, and 4 MS-65 Deep Mirror Prooflikes.
