Morgan Silver Dollar Very Fine Condition 1885-S

Only 1.5 million 1885-S Morgans were minted, causing their numismatic value to rise throughout the years. Most of these Morgans were either placed into circulation or melted, due to the Pittman Act of 1918. Finding the 1885-S Morgan in decent condition can be quite difficult so expect high premiums when you find a non-circulated Morgan. 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 very fine condition.
