Having an impressive run from 1878 until 1904, Morgan Silver Dollars were made for one last time in 1921, which also featured a never before produced Denver Mint struck coin. Lady Liberty is featured on the front (obverse) side of the coin, and surrounding her is 13 stars which represent the 13 colonies. A powerful American Bald Eagle is featured on the back (reverse) of the coin, holding an olive branch and arrows in its talons. The beauty on both sides of the coin are two very important reasons why most collectors and investors are enamored with the Morgan Silver Dollar and will likely continue to be for many more generations, as they already have been. Most would agree that George T. Morgan, the man that designed both sides, did an incredible job, which explains the amazing numismatic value that is included in Morgan Silver Dollars. Unfortunately, many Morgan Silver Dollars, including the 1880-S Morgan Silver Dollar, were melted in order to produce more in the future, so far less are available than were originally minted. In turn, higher grades are extremely rare and thus far more expensive. Specifically, these Morgan Dollars were melted after the Pittman Act was passed in 1918. The act allowed for the U.S. government to  purchase hundreds of millions of dollars worth of silver to melt that down and create more coins.

The 1880 San Francisco Morgan Silver Dollar coin is a third year of issue for the Morgan Silver Dollar series. Although 8,900,000 were originally minted, only a fraction are still available because most were melted down in order to produce more Morgan Silver Dollars. This coin was struck at the San Francisco Mint, the other four locations where Morgan Silver Dollars have been minted were: Philadelphia, New Orleans, Denver, and Carson City. Prior to the Morgan Silver Dollar was the Seated Liberty Dollar, then after the Morgan Silver Dollar followed the Peace Silver Dollar.
