1881-S Morgan Dollar MS-66 PCGS
The 1881-S Morgan Dollar represents a classic era of American coinage, originating from the San Francisco Mint. Containing 0.77344 troy ounces of silver with a purity of 0.900, this specimen is graded in Mint State 66 (MS-66), highlighting its remarkable preservation. For nearly eighty years, these silver dollars circulated as a standard medium of exchange, weaving themselves into the daily life of the nation. On the obverse, a left-facing portrait of Liberty is depicted wearing a Phrygian cap, which features a hair band inscribed with the word 'Liberty'. Surrounding this central image is the Latin motto 'E Pluribus Unum', the 1881 year of issue, and thirteen stars representing the original colonies. The reverse displays a bald eagle, wings spread, holding an olive branch and a cluster of arrows in its talons. The inscriptions 'United States of America' and 'One Dollar' encircle the eagle, while the motto 'In God We Trust' is positioned above. The 'S' mint mark is clearly visible, denoting its origin from the San Francisco facility.
