The 1883-S Morgan Silver Dollar, unlike the recent coins minted before it, is harder to find. With only 6,250,000 coins minted, there are also shortages of higher grade dollars as many of the ones found have lots of bag marks. This is great for the value of the coin, although not great for the collectors because an 1883-S in MS-60 is worth $500 to $600 and in MS-67, PCGS says that it can be valued at a whopping $200,000. This is amazing being that coin has really no particular die variations or even a super-low mintage.
