The San Francisco Mint has been successfully minting coins and growing as a mint since 1854. This mint was first established in 1854, as a response to the California Gold Rush. That first year alone, the San Francisco Mint flipped $4 million dollars of gold into coins. In 1937, the San Francisco Mint moved to its final facility that is still producing coins today. Nowadays, the San Francisco Mint mainly produces the proof versions of collectible currency; not many "S" mint-marks are on BU coins anymore. Your 1880-S Morgan was one of the first to be struck at the San Francisco Mint, in 1880. This coin's surface has a "proof-like" finish since the die was new when this coin was minted. Your coin has also been awarded the optimal grade of MS64 by the top grading agency in the US, NGC.
