1884-S Morgan Dollar BU
The 1884-S Morgan Dollar represents a classic era of American silver coinage, serving as a primary form of currency in the United States for nearly eight decades. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this particular issue carries the "S" mint mark on its reverse side, positioned just above the denomination. Composed of 0.900 fine silver, the coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. On the obverse, a profile of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap is beautifully detailed, with the word "Liberty" visible on her hair band. The central portrait is encircled by thirteen stars, representing the original colonies, along with the date of issue and the Latin motto "E Pluribus Unum." The reverse displays a bald eagle holding a bundle of arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing both strength and peace. Surrounding this central design are the inscriptions "United States of America," "One Dollar," and the motto "In God We Trust."
