The San Francisco Mint was one of the branch mints of the US Mint that was the most involved in the production of Morgan Silver Dollars. In the history of the program, San Francisco and Philadelphia were the only branches to strike the coins each year from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. This 1881-S Morgan Dollar stands as a symbol of the quality production and strong strike of early Morgan Dollars, as mints like San Francisco in the American West flooded federal coinage with fresh silver dollars. Today, the 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar Coin in MS68+ condition is available at JM Bullion with Certified Acceptance Corporation (CAC) authentication.
Coin Highlights:
The introduction of Morgan Dollars came as a result of the Bland-Allison Act and the revival of American silver dollar production in the late 1870s. The Carson City Mint and the San Francisco Mint would play crucial roles in the production of Morgan Silver Dollars, as local silver deposits and mines provided a steady stream of local silver to the mints for the production of the new silver dollars.
This 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar Coin is in Mint State 68+ condition, indicating it is one of the highest-graded MS68 coins in the series. This coin is a brilliant specimen with vivid toning around the rim framing bright, frosted central fields. The obverse and reverse feature rainbow-hued toning that arcs across the fields, shifting from hues of deep violet and indigo to electric blue, teal, golden yellow, and orange hues. MS68 coins traditionally have a sharp strike and full, original luster. No more than three or four minuscule marks may be present, with none in the primary focal fields and no hairlines visible.
On the obverse of 1881-S Morgan Dollar Coins is a portrait of Liberty. She is shown in left-profile relief wearing a Phrygian cap, along with a coronet crown and a laurel wreath adorning her head. Surrounding Liberty are 13 stars along with the 1881 date mark.
The reverse of the 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar highlights a front-facing American bald eagle with its wings outstretched. Designed by George T. Morgan, who also crafted the obverse imagery, this depiction shows the eagle clutching both the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace in its talons.
