Morgan Silver Dollar G-VG 1885-S

Only 1.5 million 1885-S Morgans were minted, causing their numismatic value to rise throughout the years. Finding the 1885-S Morgan in decent condition can be quite difficult so expect high premiums when you find a non-circulated Morgan. Most of Morgans were either placed into circulation or melted, due to the Pittman Act of 1918. There were four reputable mints that produced the Morgan silver dollar. 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 good-very good condition, containing heavy amounts of wear, causing a smooth surface. Luckily, the date is still readable for Morgans in good-very good condition.
