1881-S Morgan Dollar MS-63 PCGS
The 1881-S Morgan Dollar stands as a striking example of late nineteenth-century American coinage. Minted in San Francisco, this silver dollar contains 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver, with a total fineness of 0.900. Certified in Mint State 63 (MS-63), this specimen showcases the intricate details of a design that has fascinated observers for generations. On the obverse, the profile of Liberty faces left, adorned with a Phrygian cap that bears the word "Liberty" upon her hair band. This side is framed by the traditional Latin motto "E Pluribus Unum", thirteen stars representing the original colonies, and the 1881 year of issue. The reverse displays a powerful bald eagle clutching both an olive branch and arrows in its talons. Surrounding the eagle are the inscriptions "United States of America", the denomination "One Dollar", and the national motto "In God We Trust". The "S" mint mark is clearly visible, denoting its origin from the San Francisco Mint.
