In the year 1880, the Morgan Silver Dollar Series remained a fresh series in circulation in the United States. Originally introduced in 1878, this series marked the revival of silver dollar production in the US after a pause in 1873 that halted the Seated Liberty Dollar.

On the obverse side of the 1880-S Morgan Dollar, you’ll find the left-profile bust of Liberty. Designed by George T. Morgan in 1878, it depicts Liberty in left-profile relief with a Phrygian cap, laurel wreath, and coronet crown on her head.

The reverse visuals on the 1880 Morgan Silver Dollar feature the heraldic eagle, also designed by Morgan. This image shows the bald eagle in front-facing relief as it clutches the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace.
