Certified Morgan Silver Dollar 1885-S MS62 PCGS

The Morgan silver dollar was produced at four main US Mints from 1878-1904. The Carson City Mint shut down in 1893, just eleven years shy of the Morgan's final year of production. The New Orleans Mint wasn't too far behind since their main item minted was the Morgan. Only the San Francisco Mint and the Philadelphia Mint are still in production today. The San Francisco Mint was first established in order to supply a place gold miners could sell their gold. It ended up being a very lucrative business, turning out $4 million dollars of gold in its first year. Your 1885-S Morgan carries the "S" mint-mark and is in brilliant uncirculated condition. When a BU Morgan becomes certified, it can receive a grade ranging from MS60-MS70. Your Morgan was awarded the grade of MS62 by PCGS, a contender among the top grading agencies in the US.
