The 1885 Morgan dollar is an extremely common coin and is widely available in all circulated grades as well as uncirculated grades through MS66, above which this piece becomes scarce. It is especially tough in MS67 and in MS68 levels is exceptionally rare, though the handful of existing specimens in that grade range draw heavy bids from registry set collectors. PLs and DMPLs are much scarcer across the board than their typical MS counterparts but not impossibly so, as there are many survivors of each even into the MS65 territory. At MS66 and above they become rare.
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.
