<h2>Q. David Bowers</h2>The following narrative, with minor editing, is from my "Silver Dollars & Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia" (Wolfeboro, NH: Bowers and Merena Galleries, Inc., 1993)<br/><br/>Numismatic Information <br/><br/>Hoard coins: Mint State coins have been common for many years, even before the Treasury release of 1962-1964. Many of this date were stored at the Philadelphia Mint and also by the Federal Reserve System. However, by now it is probably the case that most original mint-sealed bags have been broken open and dispersed. <br/><br/>Circulated grades: The 1882 dollar is very common in worn grades, and relatively little numismatic attention is paid to it. Many were melted in the 1970s during the run-up in silver bullion prices. At the time there was virtually no numismatic demand for a worn 1882 dollar.<br/> <br/>Mint State grades: Most Mint State coins are in the range of MS-60 to MS-63. Such coins are apt to show numerous bagmarks from long-time storage and moving in bags. <br/><br/>At the MS-64 level, 30,000 or more exist. Only in MS-65 or better grade does the circulation strike 1882 Morgan dollar become scarce; only about 3,500 to 5,000 are estimated to remain. <br/><br/>The typical 1882 dollar is apt to have an average to above average strike, but quality varies; weakly defined specimens also exist. Once again, this is an issue which the buyer should cherrypick for quality. <br/><br/>Prooflike coins: Semi-prooflike coins are found with some frequency on the market, but true prooflike coins are scarce. Most of the latter have little contrast between the devices and the fields. Probably, 2,500 or more remain, mostly in lower grades. When found, prooflike coins are apt to be heavily bagmarked. DMPL coins are slightly less often found. Only a few in each category are in grades of MS-65 or higher. <br/><br/>Varieties <br/><br/>Circulation strikes:<br/><br/>1. Normal date: Breen-5565. Most of the 56 obverse and 58 reverse circulation strike dies were probably used. Filled 2 (VAM-IB) is much less common than clear 2; open 2 (knob and tail free of middle stroke) is much less common than closed 2 (knob and tail touch middle stroke). At least 10 obverses show partly or wholly repunched dates. 19 circulation strike varieties are described by VAM.<br/><br/>Dies prepared: Obverse: 56; Reverse: 58 <br/><br/>Circulation strike mintage: 11,100,000 <br/><br/>Estimated quantity melted: Unknown, but millions under the 1918 Pittman Act and later, including during the run-up in silver prices in the late 1970s. <br/><br/>Availability of prooflike coins: True prooflike coins are elusive, although semi-prooflike specimens are numerous. DMPL specimens are slightly scarcer than PL examples. <br/><br/>Characteristics of striking: Most seen are fairly well struck. However, flatly struck pieces exist as do average strikes. <br/><br/>Known hoards of Mint State coins: Large numbers were held by the Treasury and released in the 1950s and in 1962-1964 as well as in prior years. <br/><br/>Commentary <br/><br/>1882 silver dollars are very common in circulated grades as well as lower Mint State levels, but in MS- 65 they are scarce. <br/><br/>Silver Dollar News Items <br/><br/>The Annual Report of the Director of the Mint, 1882, included several references to silver dollars and the various mints, among which were these items: <br/><br/>The average price paid during the year for silver bullion was $1.0215 per standard ounce (.900 fine). In New York the selling price of silver during the year was $1.13799 per fine ounce (.999 fine) or $1.02419 per standard ounceProduct Identifiers

Clear,clean and collectable
This Morgan will make a good investment,add to a series collection,given as a gift or just hold for a few years and watch the silver prices rise.Morgan dollars are the best of the best. They were made to show value,beauty,and collectability. If you compare the Morgan along with any other dollar coins you can see why they are so valued by collectors.Bestätigter Kauf: Ja

High grade what?
The coin I purchased was nice this is not about that coin this is about high grade. Too much garbage listed as "High Grade". Everyday I see dozens of VF-XF and cleaned Morgan's listed as high grade. Yeah high-grade junk. They should all be rounded up and sent to the smelter and be removed from circulation. I don't think the more you clean a coin the higher the grade gets.Bestätigter Kauf: Ja
