The 1882 Morgan dollar is a common coin that is easy to locate in all grades from well circulated up through the Gem levels. It becomes very scarce above MS66 and rare in MS67 or higher. It is generally easy to locate in PL or DMPL designations, especially under MS65, though significantly more challenging above that range.
