1880-S GSA Hoard One Dollar MS Values
Details
The 1880-S GSA Morgan dollars are rare, and certainly much tougher to find than almost any of the Carson City Morgan dollars that form the bulk of the GSA Morgans. The 1880-S GSA Morgan dollars are found both circulated and uncirculated and in hard packs as well as soft packs. PLs and DMPLs are relatively rare and, as do GSA silver dollars in any condition, command substantial premiums.
Obverse: 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: 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.
