1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar PCGS MS63 — $1 San Francisco Mint

The 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar, graded MS63 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), is a choice uncirculated example of one of the most celebrated series in American numismatics. Struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1881, this $1 coin carries the distinctive S mint mark visible below the eagle on the reverse — a hallmark of quality from a facility renowned for its well-struck, lustrous Morgan dollars.

Designed by George T. Morgan and authorized under the Bland-Allison Act of 1878, the Morgan dollar features a left-facing Liberty portrait on the obverse, crowned with a wheat and cotton wreath, and encircled by thirteen stars representing the original colonies. The reverse presents a heraldic bald eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, framed by the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR.

At the MS63 grade, this coin retains full mint luster with only minor contact marks consistent with its Choice Uncirculated designation. Certified and encapsulated in an official PCGS holder bearing cert number 26044224, this piece arrives fully protected and registry-ready for the serious Morgan dollar collector.
