Description

1880-S Morgan Silver Dollar $1 PCGS MS 68   The 1880-S Morgan Silver Dollar $1 PCGS MS 68, available at Bullion Exchanges, is a breathtaking example of one of America’s most beloved coins. Struck from .900 fine silver, each coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver and weighs 26.73 grams. This particular piece has been graded MS 68 by PCGS, placing it among the finest known survivors of its issue. With dazzling luster, razor-sharp strike, and pristine surfaces, it exemplifies the artistry and durability of the San Francisco Mint’s coinage. The Morgan Dollar series was first struck in 1878 following the Bland-Allison Act, which required the U.S. Treasury to purchase large quantities of silver from Western mines for coinage. Named after its designer, George T. Morgan, the dollar quickly became a symbol of American expansion and economic optimism during the late 19th century. The 1880-S issue is especially renowned for its outstanding strike quality, thanks to the San Francisco Mint’s reputation for producing coins with exceptional detail and brilliance. Many 1880-S Morgans survive in high grades, but specimens graded as high as MS 68 are exceedingly rare and highly coveted by advanced collectors. These coins stand as a testament to both America’s silver heritage and the artistry of 19th-century minting.
