The 1887-S Morgan Dollar is a semi-key date of the series. At a mintage of 1,771,000, the 1887-S can be difficult to find at times. The strike of the coin is very strong with a nice luster on most of the coins. VAM-2 is often popular for the 1887-S, which is a doubled S mintmark. One question asked about the Morgan Dollar series is: Can there be a 1887/6-S? There could be given that both of the other mints had the overdate. The 1887-S Dollar is worth a bit more than other Morgans, around a $100 at MS-60 and close to $10,000 at MS-66.

Although minted 11,550,000 times the 1887-O Morgan Dollar is a rare find in the uncirculated Mint state condition. The coin has a very popular overdate like the 1887/6 Morgan Dollar, which is the 1887/6-O Morgan Silver Dollar, a.k.a. VAM-3, with a mintage that is really unknown, but one can assume it was less the amount minted as just 1887/6 because the value is much higher. There is also VAM-2, which deals with a doubled 1 and a tripled 7 in the date. Other popular ones are VAM-5, where some of the stars near the date have been doubled, and VAM-22A, where the die is pitted below the eagle's tail and the obverse has a little bit of doubling in some spots. The 1887-O Morgan Silver Dollar can be worth from close to $30 in MS-60 to around $30,000 in MS-68. The 1887/6-O Morgan is worth close to $40,000 in MS-65.

One of the most easily found morgan dollars is the 1887 Morgan Silver Dollar. It was minted as 20,290,000 coins, one of the highest mintages in the whole Morgan set. Due to these coins being struck in such a large amount, the quality has suffered greatly and many coins are weak in one or more areas and have lacking luster. There are only 710 1887 Morgan Proof Dollars which are somewhat better struck coins. One of the most popular VAMs is the 1887/6 Morgan Silver Dollar as known as VAM-2. There was about 350,000 coins minted of this variety. The 1887 Morgan Silver Dollar in MS-60 is worth about $30 and an MS-68 is valued at around $30,000. The 1887 Proof Morgan is around $1,000 as a PF-60 and then PF-68 is about $40,000. The VAM-2 1887/6 Morgan Dollar is recognized to be about $300-$400 as MS-60 and then over $10,000 at MS-66.
