The Morgan Silver Dollar returned to U.S. coin production in 1878, restarting silver dollar minting after a short gap. By 1880, Morgan Dollars were being made at the Philadelphia, Carson City, New Orleans, and San Francisco Mints. Right now, certified 1880-S Morgan Dollar Silver Coins are ready for purchase from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
These 1880-S Morgan Dollar Silver Coins have earned a Mint State 65+ grade from PCGS, meaning they meet and even slightly surpass the qualities expected for an MS65. They feature strong shine and only minor, small marks. The San Francisco Mint struck 8,900,000 Morgan Dollars in 1880, making it the second-highest mintage after the Philadelphia Mint that year.
Obverse
The obverse of the 1880-S Morgan Dollar Coin shows Liberty facing left. She wears a laurel wreath and a coronet with the word LIBERTY, surrounded by 13 stars, which represent the original American states. The inscriptions read E PLURIBUS UNUM, LIBERTY, and 1880.
Reverse
On the reverse side of the 1880-S Morgan Dollar Silver Coin, you will find a bald eagle with wings fully open. The eagle holds arrows and an olive branch, a traditional symbol of the balance between force and peace. Morgans heraldic eagle remains a lasting image from U.S. Mint history. The inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, ONE DOLLAR, and the S mint mark.
History
Morgans Liberty design not only became an iconic part of the silver dollar but also left a long-term mark on American coinage. When the Morgan Dollar returned for a short time in 1921, the same Liberty portrait was brought back, showing its strong impact on collectors.
