Morgan Silver Dollars marked the return of silver dollar production at the U.S. Mint after a five-year gap that began with the end of the Seated Liberty Dollar in 1873. In 1881, the San Francisco Mint joined the Carson City Mint, Philadelphia Mint, and New Orleans Mint in striking the popular Morgan Dollar. Today, certified 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollars are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The artistic merits of Morgan’s new Liberty design were immediately recognized, with numismatic critics praising its technical execution and patriotic symbolism. Morgan’s Liberty projected strength and confidence, qualities that resonated with America’s growing status as an industrial and economic power in the late 19th century.
All 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar Coins offered here are graded MS65+ by PCGS. The “plus” reflects coins that surpass typical MS65 standards, offering bright luster, sharp strikes, and minimal marks. San Francisco’s production of 12,760,000 coins played a significant role in the Morgan Dollar program that year, providing the greatest volume of coins among the four branch mints.
On the obverse of 1881-S Morgan Dollar Coins, Liberty is shown in left-profile relief, adorned with a laurel wreath and a coronet inscribed with “LIBERTY.” Surrounding her image are 13 stars representing the original colonies.
The reverse of 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollars presents Morgan’s heraldic eagle, rendered with wings outstretched and clutching arrows of war and an olive branch of peace, symbolizing America’s strength and desire for peace.
