Description
One US 1880-S Morgan silver dollar. This coin was struck at the San Francisco Mint and features the S mint mark on the reverse, positioned between the wreath and the denomination. The design, by George T. Morgan, consists of the Liberty Head obverse and the Heraldic Eagle reverse. The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper with a reeded edge. The 1880-S is a common date within the series, though it is frequently sought by collectors for the high quality of strikes typically produced by the San Francisco Mint during this year.
