Jackpot! Hoard of 1881-S Morgan
Silver Dollars Found & Secured
Mintage accounts for
only 1.94% of all Morgan
Silver Dollars Struck!
The Morgan Silver Dollar is the most popular
and iconic vintage U.S. coin. They were
the Silver Dollars of the Wild West, going
on countless untold adventures in dusty
saddlebags across the nation. Finding a hoard
of Morgans doesn’t happen often—and when
it does, it’s a
big deal.
So when we came
across a recent hoard of 549 Morgan
Silver Dollars—all struck at the
San Francisco Mint in 1881—it
was like hitting the jackpot!

Morgans from the
San Francisco Mint
In 1859, Nevada’s Comstock
Lode was discovered, and
soon its rich silver ore made
its way across the nation,
including to the respected San
Francisco Mint—the U.S. Mint
branch known by collectors as the
source of some of the finest U.S. coins ever
struck. That includes the 1881 Morgan Silver Dollar, which exhibits
crisp details, blazing luster, and the iconic “S” mint mark of the San
Francisco Mint. Now you have the chance to add these historic, 90%
pure U.S. silver coins to your collection!
Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS)! Grading service varies.
The condition of these coins are as though they were struck yesterday,
despite being minted 140 years ago to circulate in commerce! And yet
they have survived with a quality level of eye appeal that won’t cost
you an arm and a leg.

1881-S Date
The Morgan Silver Dollar was struck from 1878 to 1904, and again
in 1921. In the 100 years since, most of these beautiful U.S. Silver
Dollars have been worn out or melted down for their silver. It’s
estimated that as little as 15% of all Morgans struck exist today in
any condition. Even fewer come from this particular mintage.
Here’s the breakdown: in 1881, just 4.25% of the total Morgan series
was struck. Less than half of those coins came from San Francisco.
In the end, the 1881-S Morgan Silver Dollar accounts for just 1.94%
of the entire series—and that’s
before
the mass
meltings that have left so few coins for collectors
to secure. And we can expect that even fewer of
the survivors are of collector grade...
