1886-S Morgan Dollar MS-62 PCGS
1886-S Morgan Dollar MS-62 PCGS
The 1886 Morgan silver dollar minted in San Francisco represents a fascinating moment in late nineteenth-century American coinage. Bearing the 'S' mint mark, this specific issue is notable for its relatively low mintage of just 750,000 pieces. Finding examples that have survived in uncirculated condition offers a direct window into the artistry of the era. Crafted from 90 percent silver, the coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. This particular specimen has been professionally graded as Mint State 62 (MS-62), indicating it has retained its original luster and details from the day it was struck at the San Francisco Mint. The obverse features the classic profile of Liberty, dated 1886, while the reverse displays the heraldic eagle, symbolizing the strength and reach of the nation during this dynamic period of expansion.
