The US has made many different versions of currency, it can be hard to keep up. Just when one silver dollar starts to take off, its production gets cancelled and a totally new silver dollar emerges. The Morgan silver dollar first came into this world in 1878, after the reign of the Seated Liberty dollar. The assistant engraver, who was responsible for the famous design of the coin, would become Chief engraver 40 years later. George T. Morgan was also responsible for other coin designs, such as the Columbian Exposition half dollar. Your 1880-S Morgan Silver Dollar was minted by the San Francisco sector of the US Mint and carries the "S" mint mark underneath the eagle's tail feathers. Extra fine Morgans will exhibit some wear on Lady Liberty's facial features, along with the eagle design on the reverse. Collectors enjoy the extra fine Morgans because the condition is still clear but the price point is more appealing.
