In the early years of production for the Morgan Silver Dollar, the United States Mint used four branch mints to produce the coins for circulation across the country. These included the Philadelphia, New Orleans, Carson City, and San Francisco branch mints. Right now, 1882-S Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1882-S Morgan Silver Dollar comes with a Mint State 66 grade in this listing. Coins in this condition exhibit above-average mint luster with a maximum of four minor contact marks. A few light hairlines might show under magnification. The 1882 release saw San Francisco issued the second highest volume of coins at 9.25 million, just behind the 11.1 million from Philadelphia, just ahead of the 6.09 million coins at New Orleans, and far surpassing the 1.113 million coins from Carson City.
The Morgan silver dollar emerged directly from the controversial Bland-Allison Act of 1878, legislation that required the Treasury to purchase between two and four million dollars’ worth of silver monthly for coining. This political compromise aimed to appease both silver mining interests in the West and financial powers in the East amid heated debate over bimetallism versus the gold standard.
In the obverse design of 1882-S Morgan Dollar Coins, George T. Morgan’s bust of Liberty is featured at the center. This design shows a portrait of Liberty in left-profile relief with a Phrygian cap, a laurel wreath, and a coronet crown on her head. There are also 13 stars on this side of the coin.
For the reverse of 1882-S Morgan Silver Dollars, the mint features another design from Morgan. This image is the heraldic eagle and depicts an American bald eagle in front-facing relief with its wings spread as its talons clutch the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace.
