The 1885 issue of Morgan Silver Dollars experienced fluctuating mintages across the four branch mints that issued the coins. The Philadelphia Mint alone produced nearly twice the volume of the other three mints, with the East Coast-based mint and the southern-based New Orleans Mint contributing for the vast majority of production. Now, certified 1885 Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available to you for purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Throughout most of the 1880s, the Philadelphia Mint in the northeast and the New Orleans Mint in the American South were responsible for the bulk of Morgan Silver Dollar production. In 1885, the 17.787 million coins struck at the Philadelphia Mint were accompanied by an additional 9.185 million coins from New Orleans.
When you contrast these figures with those of the Carson City Mint and the San Francisco Mint, you can see how vast the gulf in production volume truly was most years. In 1885, Carson City issued just 228,000 coins and San Francisco issued 1.497 million coins.
Lady Liberty features on the obverse of all 1885 Morgan Silver Dollar Coins. This visual from George T. Morgan shows Liberty in left-profile relief. She has a coronet crown and a laurel wreath in her hair, while a Phrygian cap is on the back of her head.
The heraldic eagle of the United States is on the reverse of each 1885 Morgan Dollar Coin. This design also comes from Morgan and shows the bald eagle in front-facing relief as its talons clutch the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace. The eagle has its wings spread wide and is shown without the US national shield.
These 1885 Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available in MS65 condition. Coins with this grade showcase an attractive, high-quality mint luster with a few small scattered contact marks or two larger marks.
