aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 01/14/2012 12:39 am I won't comment one the history of this years production. But rather that the Obvious results of the Mints Success in all its prior attempts to produce a "SOLID" and clean production of coinage...one MUST remember since its start in 1878 it had so many flaws in which we now "haven to the VAM" Idealology...1881-s was a PRIME year among most years of great strikes and few vams... less than 60 off the top of my head to over 230 for 1878....The simple fact is most people have many great 1881-s that don't seem to command a value....and this is the point....and why....hope this helps...

They're among the very least-expensive in high grades, almost always show strikes of staggering quality, and can even be found with genuine Cameo frosting. If you want an MS66 Morgan, and you budget allows only $300, you can probably do it with this coin. Report this Post to the Staff

Those are the exact reasons why I love the 1880-S and 1881-S Morgan dollars! Report this Post to the Staff

This coin is in my dansco type set album same coin taken with different camera Report this Post to the Staff
