1881 Morgan Silver Dollar from San Francisco / Re-blog lottery

avatar
(Edited)

I have a bit of a weakness when in comes to Morgan silver dollars. When I find one I like I usually end up buying it even if it's a duplicate in my collection if the price is right. Those who have followed me for some time and especially those from #silvergoldstackers already know that all too well. That's exactly what happened to me a few day ago.

A fellow I know called me up saying he had some coins he wanted to sell. I have bought from him before and has an amazing collection, so I headed to his home excited to get a look at some of his treasures. He is getting older and so I think he's starting to size down his collection.

When I arrived he showed off quite a few really cool coins, most if which were way outside my budget. But I did pick up a couple Morgan dollars from him at a fair price. Here is one I picked up, it's a fairly nice graded coin by NGC. Have a look:

About this coin:

Design: George T. Morgan

Year: 1881

Mint: San Francisco

Diameter: 38.1 mm

Weight: 26.73 grams

Composition: 90% silver/ 10% copper

Edge: Reeded

Minted: 12,760,000

It's a very nice coin, but was hard to photograph because it's plastic enclosure. I love that it was made in San Francisco (in the old west), I like coins made in the west in the 1880's during the times of the wild west. Some interesting highlights from the year 1881 in the old west. On October 26th the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral took place in Tombstone, Arizona. In New Mexico Billy the Kid escaped jail by killing two deputies only to be shot by Pat Garrett 3 months later (although there is some evidence that he may have shot the wrong man.) Also on April 14th in El Paso, Texas there was the Four Dead in Five Seconds Gunfight. Plenty of bad guys were out there!

Now if you've read this far let's have some fun! How about a little challenge on this one? Since it is a graded coin, how about the first person to guess the correct grade assigned by NGC gets 1 HSBI unit! Good luck!

Thanks for stopping by and for all of your support everyone, I really appreciate it!

And my disclaimer: Gold and silver stacking can be a fun hobby but isn't for everyone. You can lose money. I'm not a financial advisor and this isn't financial advice, please always do your own research before spending your hard earned money.

They're great coins! They usually way overcharge on those commercials though. Did you miss the part where the person who guesses closest to the appraised grade from NGC gets an SBI?

What a difference 150 years makes!

In the old days — the wild Wild West — a gunfight that leaves 4 dead was woven into lore…

I do love the idea of flipping one of those onto a bar for more social reasons though — “a round for all my stacking friends! — And give the change to the piano player”

Just imagine four people died in five second in one gunfight! The O.K. Corral lasted 30 seconds with three dead
