1880 Morgan Silver Dollar. MS-66+ (PCGS).A sharply to fully struck beauty with brilliant surfaces and bountiful mint luster. Enough original bags of 1880 silver dollars entered numismatic channels during the 1940s and 1950s that Mint State examples are readily obtainable in todays market in grades up to and including MS-65. Interestingly, the supply of such coins in government storage seems to have dried up by the end of the latter decade as this issue was not represented in the substantial and famous silver dollar releases of 1962 to 1964. At the uppermost reaches of Gem Uncirculated condition the 1880 is rare, the present example among the finest known to PCGS and eagerly awaiting inclusion in an advanced collection on the Set Registry.
