Just 5% of 1887 Morgans Feature This Mint Mark!

But the San Francisco Mint–known by collectors as striking some of the most beautiful Morgans of all time–struck less than 1.8 million. That makes this coin one of the lucky 5% of 1887 Morgans to bear the "S" mint mark. Often, a small mintage can mean a hefty price tag, but this excellent key-date 1887-S Morgan offers you the chance to own one graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as being in fabulous Choice Uncirculated Mint State-63 (MS63) condition!
