Description

This 1887 Morgan Silver Dollar has been certified by NGC as MS 65 PL, combining a gem uncirculated grade with the reflective, mirror-like fields that define the Proof-Like designation. Struck during one of the most prolific years of Morgan dollar production, the coin displays the iconic Liberty head obverse designed by George T. Morgan, surrounded by the inscription E PLURIBUS UNUM and ringed with thirteen stars, along with the date 1887 at the base of the portrait. The reverse showcases a heraldic eagle with wings spread, clutching arrows and an olive branch, framed by a wreath and the denomination ONE DOLLAR. Composed of 90% silver, the Morgan dollar remains one of the most collected series in American numismatics, prized for its historic connection to the late 19th-century silver coinage era and its bold, detailed Beaux-Arts style engraving. The proof-like surfaces on this example produce a strong cameo-like contrast between the frosted devices and mirrored fields, a quality that distinguishes it from typical business-strike examples. The coin arrives housed in its original NGC holder, complete with the certification label displaying the grade, date, and unique certification number, offering secure, archival-quality protection ideal for both display and long-term storage.

Frequently asked questions

PL stands for Proof-Like, an NGC designation given to business-strike coins whose fields exhibit strong mirror-like reflectivity similar to proof coins. Combined with the MS 65 grade, this example offers both sharp uncirculated detail and eye-catching reflective surfaces.
The coin is sealed in its original tamper-evident NGC holder, which includes the certification label listing the date, grade, and certification number. This rigid holder protects the coin from handling and environmental damage during transit and storage.
The Morgan Silver Dollar was designed by United States Mint engraver George T. Morgan, featuring a Liberty head obverse and heraldic eagle reverse. The series was minted from 1878 to 1904, with a final year of production in 1921.
This 1887 Morgan Silver Dollar carries NGC certification number 3404141-001, visible on the holder label along with the assigned MS 65 PL grade. This number allows the grade and coin details to be matched to NGC's official records.
