DESCRIPTION & SPECS
1881 S Morgan Dollar NGC MS63 'The Continental Bank Hoard'. For over a century, the Continental-Illinois National Bank in Chicago kept a portion of its cash reserves in original mint bags of Morgan silver dollars. Facing financial difficulties during the 1980s, the bank decided to sell the coins for their collector value, which was very considerable as many of the Morgan dollars exhibited spectacular luster, beautiful rainbow toning, and outstanding strikes. There was great demand for the high-quality silver dollars among collectors.
