The 1882-S Morgan Silver Dollar, struck at the San Francisco Mint, is a popular issue among collectors. PCGS has graded 21,175 as MS65 with 8,090 finer.
With a mintage of 9.25 million, it was part of the heavy silver dollar production spurred by the Bland-Allison Act. In PCGS MS-65, the coin displays bright, satiny luster, a sharp strike, and only light, scattered marks typical of the grade.
San Francisco Mint coins enjoy strong popularity among collectors. The “S” mint mark evokes the Old West, the Comstock Lode, and a reputation for crisp strikes and attractive surfaces. Many enthusiasts actively seek San Francisco issues when collecting Morgan dollars, often favoring them over Philadelphia or New Orleans examples for their consistent quality and historical resonance.
This 1882-S in MS-65 offers clean fields, full breast feathers, and lively cartwheel effect—qualities that make it a favorite for date collectors and type enthusiasts alike. Well-struck and readily available in gem grades, the 1882-S remains a cornerstone of many Morgan Dollar collections without the rarity premium of scarcer dates.
