Description

This 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar presents a well-struck example of one of America's most collected coin series, certified MS66PL by PCGS for its gem-level preservation and reflective proof-like surfaces. Struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1881, the coin displays George T. Morgan's iconic design: a left-facing profile of Liberty wearing a coronet inscribed LIBERTY, surrounded by stars and the motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, with a heraldic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch on the reverse beneath IN GOD WE TRUST. The San Francisco mintmark appears below the wreath on the reverse. The proof-like designation reflects the coin's mirror-bright fields, a quality prized by Morgan dollar specialists and often associated with early strikes from freshly polished dies. As a 90% silver coin from the late 19th century, this Morgan dollar appeals both to type collectors building a Morgan Dollar set and to those seeking a high-grade proof-like example for a specialized collection. The secure holder ensures the coin arrives ready for display or safekeeping.

Frequently asked questions

PL stands for Proof-Like, a designation PCGS assigns when a coin's fields display strong mirror reflectivity similar to a proof strike, typically from early die states. This 1881-S example carries the MS66PL grade, combining a gem numeric grade with the proof-like surface quality.
This coin was struck at the San Francisco Mint in 1881, indicated by the S mintmark found on the reverse below the wreath, just above the words ONE DOLLAR.
The coin is sealed in its original tamper-evident PCGS holder, which displays the grading label with the coin's date, denomination, grade, and certification number, providing secure protection for storage or display.
The Morgan Silver Dollar was designed by George T. Morgan, Chief Engraver at the U.S. Mint, featuring a profile portrait of Liberty on the obverse and a heraldic eagle on the reverse.
