1880-S NGC MS-64 Morgan Silver Dollar Coin

1880-S NGC MS-64 Morgan Silver Dollar Coin

The Morgan Dollar is one of the most popular silver dollars in the Americas. The US Mint produced Morgan Dollars from 1878 to 1904, and during 1921, in a quick strike.

The US Mint crafted Morgan Dollars in various branches, including Philadelphia, New Orleans, Denver, San Francisco, and Carson City, until 1893, when coinage operations in this last facility ceased.

Coins bearing the “S” mint mark identify the San Francisco Mint as their issuer.

An NGC MS-64 coin

NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) works independently from sovereign mints, appraising and grading coins using the Sheldon Scale, which ranks coins from 1 to 70.

MS stands for Mint State, referring to coins issued in the same format as a business circulation coin. 64 is the grade given to coins with average luster, noticeable, light scuff marks, or defects but with attractive overall quality.
