Brilliant Uncirculated 1882-S Morgan Silver Dollar
NGC MS 65
Lovely White Luster
The Morgan dollar was a United States dollar coin minted from 1878 to 1904, and again in 1921.
From the Famous Gene L. Henry “Great Northwest Collection”
This Morgan Silver Dollar is certified by NGC as MS-65 and comes from the legendary Great Northwest Collection, the massive silver dollar hoard assembled by Gene L. Henry of the Seattle area.
Gene L. Henry was one of the Pacific Northwest’s most prominent coin dealers and numismatists, active for more than 50 years. A lifelong Seattle-area resident, VAM specialist, longtime ANA Life Member, and contributor to the Red Book and Blue Book, he built one of the largest private inventories of silver dollars in modern times. After his death in 2014, the estate revealed an astonishing hoard estimated at over 135,000 silver dollars—widely regarded as the largest such discovery since the famous Redfield Hoard.
NGC recognized the significance of the collection by creating special private labels, including the “Great Northwest Collection” label, to honor both the coins and Gene Henry’s legacy. Coins from this hoard carry genuine pedigree and remain highly sought after by Morgan dollar collectors.
This example has been professionally authenticated, graded, and encapsulated by NGC in the desirable Gem Mint State-65 grade, preserving its original surfaces, luster, and strike while confirming its origin in the Great Northwest Collection.
A true piece of modern numismatic history from one of the great silver dollar hoards of the past century.
Note the bluish color seen on the coin pictured is not visible to the naked eye, that pale blue coloring is a result of the high-intensity full spectrum scanner. The bluish areas in the scan look bright silver to the naked eye.
