The obverse of this technical beauty is toned with a thin crescent of electric blue, magenta, and orange. The reverse displays the same color scheme over a much broader area. It is hard to call an 1881-S Morgan rare, but in this lofty grade the population is (221/2)out of an original mintage of 12,760,000. Then consider that 330,000 1881-S Morgans have been graded leaving this coin in the 999th percentile
