If you decide to put together a collection of shield nickels, none of these circulation dates are prohibitively rare.
Thank you to our sponsors!

The 1880-O is a common coin in all grades through the MS64 range and generally feature decent strike. In MS65 and higher the coin is rare, with PLs and DMPLs relatively scarcer than typical MS examples, as is to be expected; in the Gem levels, PLs and DMPLs are rare and command princely premiums thanks to stiff competition among Morgan enthusiasts and particularly registry set collectors.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse Description
The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
