Owner's Comments

This San Francisco mint Morgan is our first of four MS67 graded coins. She is has plenty of luster delicately covered by iridescent toning on both the obverse and reverse with hints of golds, blues and greens that pop as you rotate the coin in your hand. At the super gem grade of MS67 by PCGS and housed in a gen 1.2 "Rattler" holder she is the first of four similarly grade Morgan's in this date set. - According to our PCGS population report published December 1st, 1989 - there were only 11 - 1880-S coins in the same grade with a mere 4 coins graded higher in 68. Making her virtually un-improvable.

Expert Comments

Jaime Hernandez

The 1880-S Morgan Dollar is one of the most common coins in the series. It is fairly easy to find up to MS66 condition. In MS67 to MS68 they are much scarcer. In MS69 they are considered rare, as few examples exist in this condition or higher.
