1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar

Silver and Morgan dollars... magic words to collectors. The 1881-S Morgan dollar is easily one of the most commonly encountered mint state Morgans today. By some estimations, perhaps a third of the original 12.7 million coin mintage exists today in mint state. If a collector is looking for a very high-grade Morgan for their collection, the most readily available will certainly be an 1881-S. Some 5.7 million pieces were struck, but it seems the majority of those went into circulation.
