The 1881-S Morgan DollarMorgan Silver Dollar dated 1881 and minted at the San Francisco branch of the US Mint.
The mintage of the 1881-S is high, so the coin is very easy to find even in high grades, and can usually be purchased at a reasonable price.
The coin is named after the designer, George T. Morgan, who at the time was United States Mint Assistant Engraver.
Mint marks can be found above the DO in DOLLAR. If no mint mark is present then the mint is Philadelphia, but in 1881 it may also be CC (Carson City), S (San Francisco) or O (New Orleans).
The Obverse shows an image of Liberty, designed by George T Morgan.
The edge is reeded (milled).
The Reverse shows an eagle holding arrows and an olive branch, also designed by George T Morgan.Image credit: Mountain View Coins
