The 1878-1882 first five San Francisco Mint Morgans are considered the best-struck in the 95-issue series. At the time, the recently opened S-Mint had the nation's finest coin-
producing equipment and specialized in Morgan silver dollars. The 1882-S issue is vastly scarcer than the most popularly collected 1880-S and 1881-S Morgans of the "fabulous five" earliest S-Mint Morgan issues. In fact, it's even more elusive than the 1878-S and 1879-S issues in the nicely detailed Very Fine quality we offer or higher grades.
