A better date, the 1896-S is common in circulated grades but very scarce in uncirculated condition, especially in MS65 or above. Remarkably, despite the incredible difficulty of locating this issue in Gem, there is at least one example that has managed a grade of MS69. PLs are very rare, with only a few surviving in the Gem range. DMPLs are essentially unknown for this issue.
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.
