1886-S Morgan Silver Dollar BU

Scarce 1886-S Morgan Silver Dollar

It’s said that as little as 15% of all Morgan Silver Dollars remain today in any condition. Of that relatively small number, there are even deeper areas of rarity for us to explore—which brings us to the 1886-S Morgan Silver Dollar.

Low Mintage S-Mint Morgans from 1886

Out of the 96 dates and mint mark combinations issued by the U.S. Mint for the Morgan series, just 17 of them have a mintage of less than one million. This coin qualifies, being a scarce San Francisco Mint issue of only 750,000 pieces—most of which were immediately released into circulation. By comparison, 1886 saw 19,963,000 Morgans struck in Philadelphia and another 10,710,00 million struck in New Orleans. That makes any 1886-S Morgan one of just 2.3% of Morgans struck that year!
