1882 o/s Morgan Dollar Top-100 VAM-5 Broken S captures a moment in the long-running Morgan dollar series that began in 1878 and continued through 1904 before a final year in 1921. Struck at the New Orleans mint during an era when these coins helped stabilize the post-Civil War economy and support western silver production, this issue remains one of the most collected classic U.S. silver dollars. George T. Morgan’s Liberty portrait graces the obverse while a heraldic eagle appears on the reverse.

The piece is struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, weighing 0.7734 troy ounces and carrying tangible value beyond its original face denomination. Collectors pursue Morgan dollars for their historical reach and the challenge of assembling dates and mint marks from the branch mints. Varieties such as this Top-100 VAM-5 Broken S add further appeal for those building meaningful sets of these enduring silver issues.
