Description
# 1880-S Morgan Dollar PCGS MS68+. An exceptional San Francisco Mint Morgan Dollar from the legendary 1880 vintage, this remarkable specimen represents the pinnacle of numismatic preservation and quality. Struck during a prolific year for silver dollar production, this *MS68+* example stands among the finest known specimens of its issue. The coin displays extraordinary mint state preservation, with remarkable luster and strike quality typical of the finest Morgan Dollar specimens. PCGS has certified only a mere 5 examples at this exceptional grade level, with a total population of just 39 coins graded, making this an extraordinarily rare and desirable collectible. The San Francisco Mint produced 8,900,000 dollars in 1880, yet surviving examples of this caliber are exceedingly scarce. Technical specifications include the standard Morgan Dollar composition of 90% silver and 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams with a precise 38.1mm diameter and classic reeded edge. Designed by the renowned George T. Morgan, this coin represents a pinnacle of late 19th-century American coinage artistry. The PCGS Plus designation further underscores its superior quality and eye appeal. Provenance and Rarity: With only a handful of examples graded at this level, this 1880-S Morgan Dollar is a true numismatic treasure. Its exceptional preservation and PCGS certification (#59827876) make it a centerpiece for advanced collectors and investors seeking the finest known specimens of this iconic silver dollar series.
