Collectible coins are typically categorized by their historical significance, rarity, and condition. The Morgan Dollar, minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, is one of the most popular collectible coins in the United States. The 1881 Morgan Dollar, specifically from the San Francisco Mint, is sought after by collectors due to its lower mintage and distinctive design, featuring Liberty as a female figure on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. Collectors often value these coins based on their grade, key dates, and mint marks.
