1882-S One Dollar MS Values
Details
The 1882-S Morgan dollar is an extremely common coin in all grades through MS67, though above that it becomes markedly scarcer. While rare, there are examples grading MS68 and even higher, and in fact this is one of the more affordable, if one can use that term here, of the MS68 Morgan dollars available. PLs are more common than DMPLs, though both types are very rare in the Gem levels.
This coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper and has a current melt value of $45.10
Obverse: Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse: The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
