Followed forum member's suggestions, I finally got a 1881-S MS64 Morgan to match (really surpass) my SF old mint silver dollar. I liked it very much and it is better than my UNC SF old mint dollar. With this, I have three Morgans from o, s and p mints all in MS64. Compared to the other two, why does S-mint look better? Were they treated differently?

Most San Fran Morgan dollars look nicer than others. Perhaps they used newer dies, perhaps they were more careful in the production. But they are nice coins. Good luck, now for that nice CC dollar. |

I believe the 81/82 S Morgans look great because of the strong strike and likely replaced the dies a bit more often.
The best looking dollars I have had were the early 80's SanFran mints.
Not too many ways to go with the D, as there was only one.
What kind of condition is your CC going to be?

There's an advertisement on the radio from First Federal that they recently discovered uncirculated rolls of Morgan dollars in their vaults and they are sending them out for people to inspect them and just for looking they send a free silver coin. I managed to write down the number: 1-800-900-0402 I believe I got it right, I was driving so my writing skills were hampered. But if anyone is willing to give a call, I'd call but I don't have money to spare at the moment (disability)  Maybe he got it off there? |

I am looking at a PCGS MS64 for both 1921-d and cc (commen date) to complete a MS64 mint mark set. I am waiting for a new job. Once I get me new job, then it will come shopping.

That smells about as fishy as last weeks tuna surprise  Banks do not just "find" rolls of CC silver dollars in their vaults. I am sure any bank in the US inventories their vaults on a regular basis and things like silver dollars would have been found long ago. "Recently Discovered" is another phrase for marketing gimmick. Besides that, I do not think that Morgans ever came in rolls, only bags. I have seen companies pull that "free inspection" thing before- you better believe that you will have to turn over your credit card number before they ship it to you for an inspection. |

most of these coins were kept in a vault until the late 60's early 70's and they were placed there right after being minted and thats why there is so many of them available and that is why they are available cheaply in higher grades. Atleast this is my understanding of these coins but it has been awhile since I read the book about them so I may be misteken but I am pretty sure this was the c ASEEdited by Bryan1315

prooflike 1880-1882 san francisco morgans are common. the mint polished the dies often causing many dollars to have that surface.
