In 1881, while the Morgan silver dollar was being minted, some very important events were also taking place. Phoenix became a city in Arizona. Clara Barton established the Red Cross and the United States Tennis Association was founded by a small group of tennis club members. Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison formed the Oriental Telephone Company. Lastly, President Garfield was assassinated through this year. Knowing some history around the time the Morgans were minted not only is interesting but it helps with understanding the time period of the coin. Your 1881 Morgan has been minted in Philadelphia, the very first mint in the US, and carries no mint mark. Your Morgan is considered to be in very fine condition. Morgans that are in very fine condition are expected to show large amounts of wear around the main images, including the eagle's feathers.
