The launch of the Morgan Silver Dollar in 1878 revived silver dollar production after a brief hiatus. In 1880, the United States Mint issued Morgan Dollars at the Philadelphia, Carson City, New Orleans, and San Francisco branch mints. Today, certified 1880-S Morgan Silver Dollars are available to purchase at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The obverse of 1880-S Morgan Silver Dollars depicts Liberty facing left, wearing a laurel wreath and a coronet bearing the word “LIBERTY,” surrounded by 13 stars honoring the original states of the union.
The reverse of 1880-S Morgan Dollar Coins bears the image of a bald eagle, wings fully spread, clutching arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing the balance between military strength and peace. Morgan’s heraldic eagle design remains a standout piece of U.S. Mint history.
The impact of Morgan’s Liberty design extended beyond the silver dollar itself. It influenced American numismatic design for generations and became one of the most recognizable symbols in U.S. coinage history. When the Morgan dollar was briefly revived in 1921, the same Liberty design was used, speaking to its enduring popularity.
These 1880-S Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are graded MS65+ by PCGS, meaning they meet and slightly exceed the typical standards for MS65 coins, with strong luster and only minor, scattered marks. Known for excellent quality, the San Francisco Mint’s production of 8,900,000 coins in 1880 was second highest in the overall offering behind only the 12,600,000 coins issued by the Philadelphia Mint.
