A very common issue, the 1887 Morgan dollar is readily available in all grades through MS66. It becomes quite scarce in MS67 and extremely rare in MS68, a grade for which a tiny number of specimens are known. PLs and DMPLs are scarce but found with frequency in the marketplace and can be bought for a price.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse Description
The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
