where is the mint mark on a silver dollar morgan

[VanWalter]

Ah, the great Morgan Dollar mint mark hunt! It's a classic numismatic quest, but luckily, you won't need a treasure map for this one. Just the coin and a decent pair of eyes.

To find that elusive little letter, you'll need to flip your silver dollar over to the reverse, or "tails," side. Ignore Lady Liberty's stoic gaze for a moment and focus on the majestic eagle. Once you've admired its impressive wingspan, direct your attention downward, below its tail feathers. There, hovering just above the letters "D" and "O" in the word "DOLLAR," is where the mint mark makes its home.

If you spot a letter, it could be an "S" for San Francisco, an "O" for New Orleans, a "D" for Denver, or the highly sought-after "CC" for Carson City. But what if you find nothing but empty space? Don't fret! That isn't a mistake. An absence of a mint mark simply means your coin was struck at the main mint in Philadelphia, which, for much of its history, felt it was too important to need a label.
