All circulation-strike 1885 silver dollars are Morgan dollars. "Morgan" refers to the sculptor George T. Morgan who designed the coin."Plain" refers to a coin without a mint mark. Up till 1979 Philadelphia did not put a P mint mark on any $1 coins (and on almost all other coins minted there as well). So, an 1885 Morgan dollar minted in Philadelphia is considered to be "plain". Please see the Related Question for more information.To be annoyingly correct, the US also minted "trade dollars" in 1885, but these were intended for use outside of the country. 1885 was the last year trade dollars were minted and all were special proof coins.

The mintmark if it has one is in the same place on all Morgan silver dollars, it's on the reverse just above the letters DO in dollar. If it does not have a mintmark it was coined in Philadelphia no Morgan dollar has a "P" mintmark. The only mintmarks used on Morgans are O, S, CC and a D was used in 1921 only.
As of 09/2009 the melt value of a Morgan dollar is about $8 to $10. However its collector value can be much higher depending on its condition and mint mark.
