1882-S Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS66+ Beautiful Purple & Red Toning
only 1 in stock
Add exceptional eye appeal and high-end quality to your Morgan Dollar collection with this 1882-S Morgan Silver Dollar certified NGC MS66+. Struck at the legendary San Francisco Mint, this impressive survivor displays lovely natural toning, with rich shades of purple and red flowing across its silver surfaces. The distinctive coloration gives the coin a character all its own, no two naturally toned Morgan Dollars develop exactly alike.
The prestigious MS66+ grade places this coin well above the typical surviving 1882-S Morgan Dollar. Its sharp design details, beautifully preserved surfaces, and premium-quality appearance make it especially desirable for collectors seeking more than an ordinary Mint State example.
How Rare Is This Condition?
The San Francisco Mint struck 9,250,000 Morgan Dollars in 1882. While that original production figure may sound substantial, only a tiny fraction have been certified at the elite MS66 level or finer.
Based on the supplied NGC population figures:
- NGC MS66 population: 353
- NGC examples graded higher: 2,757
- Total certified MS66 or finer: 3,110
That total represents only about 0.034% of the original mintage—approximately one MS66-or-better certified example for every 2,974 coins originally struck. The comparison is illustrative rather than an estimate of survival, since grading populations may include resubmissions and not every surviving coin has been submitted for certification.
With its premium MS66+ designation and dramatic purple-and-red toning, this is a visually memorable example of one of America’s most celebrated silver dollars.
