Notes:
The 1889-S Morgan Silver Dollar is easily obtained in all grades
including Gem. Prooflikes and Deep Mirror Prooflikes are very
scarce. The most
"common" Uncirculated grade is MS-63, followed by MS-64 and MS-62, in that order.
The finest examples
certified by PCGS are a single MS-67, 2 MS-66 Prooflikes, and 2 MS-66 Deep
Mirror Prooflikes.
