In 1880, at the height of the Wild West era, the Morgan dollar was the only silver coin struck by the San Francisco Mint. Consequently, special care was lavished on the production of these coins. When considering which Morgan silver dollar was the most beautifully minted for commerce, numismatists almost invariably narrow the field to the 1880-S and 1881-S issues. Very Fine quality.
