1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar PCGS MS65PL

This 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar presents a striking example of America's classic 90% silver dollar series, certified MS65PL by PCGS for its gem-quality proof-like surfaces. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin displays George T. Morgan's iconic design: a left-facing Liberty head wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, surrounded by thirteen stars and the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the obverse, paired with a heraldic eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows beneath IN GOD WE TRUST on the reverse. The proof-like designation reflects the coin's reflective, mirror-like fields, a quality prized by collectors for the enhanced visual contrast between the devices and background. Attractive peripheral toning frames both sides, adding eye appeal characteristic of well-preserved Morgan dollars from this era. The 1881-S issue is one of the more available San Francisco dates in high grade, making it a popular choice for collectors building a Morgan dollar type set or pursuing high-grade proof-like examples. The coin arrives secured in its original PCGS certification holder, which displays the grade, date, mintmark, and unique certification number for easy reference. This tamper-evident holder provides lasting protection for the coin's surfaces during storage and display.
