This *PCGS MS66* specimen represents a high-quality example of the 11,100,000 coins minted in 1882, offering remarkable preservation and eye appeal. The coin displays superior technical characteristics, crafted from a 90% silver and 10% copper composition, weighing 26.73g with a standard 38.1mm diameter and precision reeded edge. Designed by the renowned George T. Morgan, this dollar exemplifies the artistic and technical achievements of late 19th-century U.S. mint production.

While 1882 Morgan Dollars are relatively common in lower mint states, MS-66 examples are considerably scarce. Most mint state coins from this year reside in the MS-60 to MS-63 range, typically exhibiting numerous bag marks from historical storage methods. This particular coin stands out for its exceptional preservation, minimal marks, and superior strike quality. The numismatic pedigree is further enhanced by its PCGS certification and low population status.
