Take a look at 1881-O VAM 5 on VAMWorld. I've seen uncirculated, slightly PL specimens of this coin and O/O makes more sense than O/S. Breen's...
This immediately preceded the good PCI, and probably dates to the late 1980s. The coin is very attractive and would probably upgrade to at least...

Might I recommend also adding a Lion Dollar. They preceded the Pillar Dollar and were considered the standard dollar coin of the 17th and early...
