1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar – Beautiful Target or Bullseye Toning on this Lustrous Very Choice BU Example holdered in an older late 80s, early 90s Green Label PCI Slab

At the time this was encapsulated, this coin was 75% White. This was a practice at the time that PCI and some other 2nd tier service would provide and it is wonderful that they did so as can be seen, over the decades, the sulfur content within the slab  has assisted with providing the amazing natural toning seen on the coin today. It is a long way from 75% white anymore!

The Green Label PCI Era is well known as being their best days. Known for conservative grading that, at the time, was in line or maybe a half tier under the top two or three major third party grading service at the time

PCI eventually went on to change ownership a handful of times (including having sold to Hallmark before repurchasing the brand an d switching to the gold borders a few years later).

The more modern PCI slabs are a joke compared to the service they provided when they first appeared on the scene during the infant years of modern TPG

Wonderful example with No hair lines or surface or rim problems; no signs of cleaning or other abuse
