1880-S NGC MS-68 Morgan Silver Dollar Coin

Morgan Silver Dollars, minted from 1878 to 1921, are treasured for their historical significance and exquisite design. They are named after George T. Morgan, their designer.

Over the years, the US Mint crafted Morgan Silver Dollars through different branches, including Philadelphia, New Orleans, Denver, San Francisco, and Carson City, until 1893, when coinage operations in this last facility ceased.

These coins, in particular, carry the “S” mint mark, identifying the San Francisco branch which issued them.
