Obverse

On the obverse side of the 1880-S Morgan Dollar, you’ll encounter the left-profile bust of Liberty, designed by George T. Morgan in 1878. This depiction showcases Liberty in left-profile relief, adorned with a Phrygian cap, laurel wreath, and coronet crown. Inscriptions include E PLURIBUS UNUM, LIBERTY, and 1880.

Reverse

The reverse visuals on the 1880 Morgan Dollar Silver Coin feature the heraldic eagle, another creation by Morgan. This image presents the bald eagle in front-facing relief, clutching the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace. Inscriptions here read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, ONE DOLLAR, and the S mint mark.

History

The only mint to see a year-over-year increase in production in 1880 was the New Orleans Mint. This was largely due to efforts to get the New Orleans Mint back up to speed and capacity following its closure from 1861-1878 during the US Civil War and the subsequent Reconstruction Era in the American South.
