1888 $1 Morgan Dollar PCGS MS61

Ah, the 1888 Morgan Dollar—minted during a simpler time when electricity was optional, beards were mandatory, and your dollar could actually buy something more than a sad gas station coffee.

This particular beauty has earned a prestigious MS61 from PCGS, which means it’s mint state, but also, let’s be honest—it’s the kind of mint state that might’ve tripped on the way to the photo shoot. Sure, it’s uncirculated, but it probably called in sick the day they handed out flawless surfaces.

Look closely and you’ll see the classic Morgan design in all its semi-dramatic glory: Lady Liberty looking off into the distance like she’s pretending not to see someone she knows, and an eagle on the back trying very hard to look majestic, despite being surrounded by tiny letters and laurel leaves.

1888 also gives it a nice “almost spooky” vibe—like if coins had Halloween specials, this one would star in it. No ghosts here, though—just good ol’ American silver with a few scuffs, a lot of shine, and the dignity of a coin that never had to rub elbows with gum wrappers in someone’s pocket.

Perfect for collectors who appreciate history, sparkle, and a touch of “Well, it’s not a 65, but it didn’t break the bank either.”

Buy it, admire it, and casually name-drop “MS61” at dinner parties. We won’t stop you.
