# 610 - 1881-S Morgan Dollar
In 1878 Congress passed the Bland-Allison Act. The Act required the U.S. government to purchase large quantities of silver and turn it into silver dollars. Named after its designer, United States Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan, the Morgan dollar is one of the most popular of all American coins. It's large size, abundant supply, and pleasing appearance make it both affordable and desirable.
Morgan Dollars were struck without interruption from 1878 to1904, then again in 1921. U.S. Mints that produced Morgan Dollars include Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, Denver, and Carson City.
It weights 26.73g with 90% silver purity.
I am basically a commemorative collector but I have a few Morgan and Peace dollars, slabbed and not slabbed and I will show you some of them.
This is the 1881-S Morgan dollar, slabbed by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), one of the two largest third-party grading service for coins, tokens and medals (the other is PCGS).
The San Francisco Mint issued a total of 12,760,000 units and NGC graded 56,565 as MS-65, with 23,566 graded above. NGC has graded 263,186 coins in mint state until today (11/06/2019).
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.
The obverse depicts a profile portrait representing Liberty.
The reverse depicts an eagle with wings outstretched. The mint mark, if any, appears on the reverse above the "o" in "Dollar".

I love the Morgans, When I inherited my father's coin collection it included six lovely Morgans, all varying degrees of circulation and while not spectacular they very much stood out from the rest of the collection.
