Morgan Silver Dollar Fine Condition 1880-S

The Morgan silver dollar first came into this world in 1878, after the reign of the Seated Liberty dollar. The assistant engraver, who was responsible for the famous design of the coin, would become Chief engraver 40 years later. George T. Morgan grew up in the coin engraving industry in England. Once he was old enough, he took the long trip across the pond and assumed the assistant engraver position. Morgan was also responsible for other coin designs, such as the Columbian Exposition half dollar. Your 1880-S Morgan Silver Dollar was minted by the San Francisco sector of the US Mint and carries the "S" mint mark underneath the eagle's tail feathers. Morgans in fine condition will present a smooth wear on Lady Liberty's facial features and on the eagle's feathers. Any Morgan minted at the San Francisco Mint is considered to be the best quality Morgan there is.
