Description
The 1899-S Morgan Silver Dollars offered an odd inversion of the typical price curve. Rather than the Mint State coins being worth more, the circulated examples are the ones that tend to bring a premium. Because of 1899-S hoard coins (which were typically found in high grade), the uncirculated population is easy to come by. It is the circulated coins that many collectors go after.
