1886-S Morgan Dollar BU
The 1886-S Morgan Silver Dollar stands as a compelling artifact from the late nineteenth century, struck at the historic San Francisco Mint. This particular issue is notable for its relatively low mintage of just 750,000 pieces, making it a highly discussed entry in the celebrated Morgan series. Struck in 90% silver, each coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. On the obverse, the design presents the profile of Liberty adorned with a Phrygian cap, a traditional symbol of freedom. Tucked into her hair band is the clear inscription of the word LIBERTY. The reverse displays a powerful bald eagle with its wings spread, grasping an olive branch and a bundle of arrows to represent peace and readiness. Below the eagle, the distinct 'S' mint mark indicates its origin at the San Francisco facility.
