All 1881-S Morgan Dollar Silver Coins in this listing are graded MS64+ by NGC. These coins exhibit a higher-than-average mint luster with minimal contact marks, though some may be found in the primary focal areas. A grade of MS64+ indicates a slightly higher quality than an MS64, but just below the visual standard of an MS65.

Obverse

The obverse of the 1881-S Morgan Dollar Coin features a left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty. This design, created by George T. Morgan, debuted in 1878 and shows Liberty crowned with a Phrygian cap, laurel wreath, and coronet. Encircling her are 13 stars representing the original colonies. Inscriptions include LIBERTY, E PLURIBUS UNUM, and 1881.

Reverse

The reverse of the 1881-S Morgan Dollar Silver Coin includes the classic image of the heraldic eagle. Designed by Morgan, this bald eagle appears with wings spread wide, clutching arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other, symbolizing the nations commitment to both peace and defense. Inscriptions read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, ONE DOLLAR, and the S mint mark.

History

In 1881, the US Mint produced Morgan Silver Dollars at four facilities. The San Francisco Mint had the largest production, issuing 12.76 million coins, while the Carson City Mint had the lowest with just 296,000 coins.
