Morgan Silver Dollar Extra Fine Condition 1885-S

Although the Morgan silver dollar contains some very interesting and important history of the minting of currency, the mints of the Morgan also offer an interesting look into the past. The Morgan silver dollar was produced at four main US Mints from 1878-1904. The Carson City Mint shut down in 1893, just eleven years shy of the Morgan's final year of production. The New Orleans Mint wasn't too far behind since their main item minted was the Morgan. Only the San Francisco Mint and the Philadelphia Mint are still in production today. The San Francisco Mint was first established in order to supply a place gold miners could sell their gold. It ended up being a very lucrative business, turning out $4 million dollars of gold in its first year. Your 1885-S Morgan carries the "S" mint-mark and is in extra fine condition.
