1880-S NGC MS-62 Morgan Silver Dollar Coin

Introduced in 1878, the Morgan Dollar quickly became a symbol of American prosperity, with each coin containing .7734 oz of 90% silver. Designed by George T. Morgan, it was the official dollar coin until 1904, with a final minting in 1921. 

The Morgan Dollar's design and historical context make it a timeless piece of U.S. coinage. 

Coins bearing the "S" mint mark are a distinctive sign of their origin at the San Francisco Mint.
