Most investors and collectors would agree that George T. Morgan did a splendid job when designing the Morgan Silver Dollar, especially the 1880-P Morgan Silver Dollar. Truly a masterpiece and arguably his best of seven designs, this coin was minted as of 1878 until production was temporarily halted in 1904, only to be continued for one more year in 1921. Miss Liberty is featured on the obverse (front) of the coin with 13 stars (represents the 13 colonies) all around her face, and an American Bald Eagle on the reverse (back) of the coin (gripping an olive branch and arrows in its talons). It comes as no surprise that Morgan Silver Dollars, including this one, are known to hold numismatic value due to the sheer beauty of the coins and scarcity. Philadelphia Minted Morgan Silver Dollars often have higher mintages, and are thus more affordable to collect compared to Morgan Silver Dollars that were struck at other mints.
The 1880-P Morgan Silver Dollar was specifically struck at the Philadelphia mint, whereas the other four locations where Morgan Silver Dollars have been minted are: San Francisco, New Orleans, Denver, and Carson City. The Philadelphia Mint is known to usually produce the highest quantity of Morgan Silver Dollars, and for that reason, they are a bit more common and thus less expensive. With a face value equivalent to $1 USD, this coin has more than 3/4th an ounce of pure silver in it and is composed of 10% copper, 90% silver. 12,600,000 were minted albeit not nearly as many are left because many were melted down in order to produce other Morgan Silver Dollars during the shortage of silver. The Morgan Dollar has a diameter of 38.1mm and weight of 26.73 grams. The 1880-P Morgan Silver Dollar is the third year of issue in the Morgan Silver Dollar series.
