# 626 - 1882-S Morgan Dollar

in #steemleo4 years ago

In 1878 Congress passed the Bland-Allison Act. The Act required the U.S. government to purchase large quantities of silver and turn it into silver dollars. Named after its designer, United States Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan, the Morgan dollar is one of the most popular of all American coins. It's large size, abundant supply, and pleasing appearance make it both affordable and desirable.

Morgan Dollars were struck without interruption from 1878 to1904, then again in 1921. U.S. Mints that produced Morgan Dollars include Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, Denver, and Carson City.

It weights 26.73g with 90% silver purity.

I am basically a commemorative collector but I have a few Morgan and Peace dollars, slabbed and not slabbed and I will show you some of them.

This is the MS-65 1882-S Morgan dollar, slabbed by GLGS, a company that does not exist anymore.

The San Francisco Mint struck 9.25 million silver dollars in 1882. Many of those coins ended up sitting in bags stored in government vaults for decades before being released in the middle of the 20th century. These large releases have assured this date is one of the most common in high grade.

The obverse depicts a profile portrait representing Liberty.

The reverse depicts an eagle with wings outstretched. The mint mark (S) appears on the reverse above the "o" in "Dollar".

Gorgeous...👍

That is the last slabbed one that I have, but I bought a few uncirculated before 1986. These were graded and I will show them in a few days. Be prepared!

Thank you, my friend.



Hey @ronaldoavelino, here is a little bit of BEER from @eii for you. Enjoy it!

I always look for the details on the eagle feathers.
This year Morgan was struck with very good deep detail, so nice @ronaldoavelino!!!👍🤗

The coins struck by the San Francisco Mint usually have a sharp feature.

Probably the reason I started coin collecting!
Cheers!!😀

It is amazing the numerous years that the Morgan Dollar was minted.... and the US Mint produced them year after year, after year!!!!

That is why we have so many silver dollars in mint condition today. They were minted without necessity and then were kept in bags till the sixties, when they were released to the general public.

I didn't know that! Something new learned again!!! Thanks, @ronaldoavelino 🥰🌺🤙!
