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.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse Description
The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
