1885-P Morgan Silver Dollar Extra Fine

Product Description

Minted 140 years ago, this big silver dollar circulated when Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was first published. At the time, just one Morgan could pay for a boat trip from New York to Boston. Struck by the principal mint in the first full decade of the Morgan series, a minimal number of these 1885 Philadelphia dollar survive today — just 6% of the original 17.8 million mintage is estimated to remain in mint-state quality. That puts pressure on circulated grades like this Extra Fine quality.
