The 1888-S Morgan dollar is a popular and scarce piece that is relatively available in the circulated grades. However, it is perhaps more numerous in uncirculated grades as most of the ones on the market today came to light in the mid 20th century with the release of bags by the U.S. Treasury. PLs and DMPLs are extraordinarily scarce, especially in the Gem range, where these pieces are downright rare.

Obverse Description

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 Description

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.
