The 1882-S Morgan Silver Dollar is one of the most sought after Morgan Dollars in the series. For one reason or another, collectors often covenant San Francisco minted Morgan Silver Dollars. Most likely because of the many key dates and low mintage Morgan Dollars that were produced at the mint location. The designer of the famous Morgan Silver Dollar was George T. Morgan. At the time he designed this coin, George T. Morgan was an assistant engraver and later became the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint. The Morgan Silver Dollar is considered to be the best of his 7 total designs, an absolutely beautiful design for both sides of the coin.
The Morgan Silver Dollar was minted between 1878 and 1904, only to resume for one last time in 1921. The reason for this brief pause in production of Morgan Silver Dollars was due to a lack of silver in the United States. This issue was fixed when the US government decided to authorize a program, spending hundreds of millions of dollars strictly to buy back silver, and melt it back down. The name of this program was called the Pittman Act. Without this program being in place, we never would have had an opportunity to mint Morgan Silver Dollars in 1921.
The face of Lady Liberty is located on the front (obverse) side of the coin, surrounded by 13 stars that represent the original 13 colonies in the United States. An American Bald Eagle holding an olive branch and arrows in its talons, is located on the back (reverse) side of the coin. Considering how millions of coins were melted down, a lot of the earlier produced Morgan Silver Dollars are harder to find because less coins are in circulation compared to the original minted quantity that would have otherwise been available.
