The Morgan Silver Dollar stands as one of the most iconic designs in US coinage. Designed by George T. Morgan, it was first minted by the United States in 1878. Production continued until 1904, with a brief return in 1921, marking its final issuance. Today, 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar Coins in certified condition are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 1881 release of Morgan Silver Dollars included five different releases from four branch mints. The Philadelphia Mint issued 9.163 million coins for circulation, as well as fewer than 1,000 proof specimens. Carson City issued a scant 296,000 coins, while New Orleans issued 5.708 million coins. With 12,76 million coins struck, San Francisco produced the greatest volume of Morgan Dollars in 1881.
All 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollars available here are secured in a protective slab and boast a Mint State 65 grade. These coins display above-average mint luster, with minimal, scattered contact marks. The main focal points are free of any significant distractions, though a few light hairlines may be visible.
On the obverse of 1881-S Morgan Dollar Coins, you’ll find a left-profile effigy of Lady Liberty. This design from George T. Morgan features the head of Liberty with a Phrygian cap on, as well as a cornet crown and a laurel wreath. The field includes the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM and a ring of 13 stars.
The reverse of 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollars comes with a depiction of the heraldic eagle. The front-facing bald eagle has its wings spread wide to either side with the arrows of war in one talon and the olive branch of peace in the other.
