Design and Specifications of the 1882 Dollar

The 1882 Morgan Silver Dollar is part of the iconic Morgan Dollar series, which was minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. This coin was produced during a period of significant silver production in the United States, particularly from the Comstock Lode in Nevada.

The Morgan Dollar, named after its designer George T. Morgan, became a symbol of the American West and played a crucial role in the nation’s monetary system during the late 19th century.

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

The condition of an 1882 Morgan Dollar significantly impacts its value. Coins in uncirculated condition (MS60 and above) are highly sought after, with premium prices for those grading MS65 or higher.

Key factors affecting condition include:

1. Strike quality: Well-struck coins with full detail, especially on the hair above Liberty’s ear and the eagle’s breast feathers, command higher premiums.

2. Luster: Original mint luster is highly desirable, with coins exhibiting a strong cartwheel effect being most valuable.

3. Contact marks: Fewer marks, especially on the cheek of Liberty and in the fields, result in higher grades and values.

4. Toning: Natural, attractive toning can enhance value, particularly for the Carson City mint mark.

Market Demand: High, due to the popularity of Carson City mint marks among collectors

Mint mark rarity plays a significant role in the value of 1882 Morgan Dollars. The Carson City (CC) mint mark is the most valuable due to its lower mintage and high collector demand.

Die varieties, while not as prominent for this year, can add value. Collectors should look for:

1. VAM varieties: Some VAM (Van Allen-Mallis) varieties are more desirable and valuable.

2. Repunched mint marks: Particularly on New Orleans (O) and San Francisco (S) issues.

Historical significance of the Carson City mint adds to the appeal of CC-marked coins, often commanding a premium regardless of condition.
