1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar United States Coin
1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar United States Coin
This 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar features the classic George T. Morgan design, showcasing Lady Liberty on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin displays the characteristic S mint mark located above the DOLLAR denomination. The piece exhibits dark, natural toning and circulation wear consistent with an uncertified silver coin from this era. The surfaces show significant character with deep patination throughout the fields and across the high points of the hair, crown, and eagle's wings. This vintage United States silver dollar represents a key piece of 19th-century American coinage history.
1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar United States Coin
Condition: The coin appears to be in circulated condition with noticeable surface wear and heavy toning or environmental residue across both the obverse and reverse. The details in Liberty's hair and the eagle's breast feathers show smoothing. There are visible contact marks and dark spots of oxidation, particularly around the legends and within the recessed areas of the design. The mint mark is identified as S for the San Francisco Mint. The metal content for this series is 90% silver and 10% copper. Historically, the Morgan Dollar was designed by George T. Morgan and minted following the passage of the Bland-Allison Act. This is a business strike type coin. The specific numeric grade is unknown as it is not professionally graded by a third-party service in the provided image.
