1887-S Morgan Dollar AU-58 PCGS
The 1887-S Morgan Silver Dollar represents a fascinating moment in late nineteenth-century American coinage. Minted at the San Francisco facility, this specific issue is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. It stands as a classic representative of the beloved Morgan series, which is highly regarded for its detailed engraving and historic significance. On the obverse, the coin displays the profile of Liberty facing left, surrounded by the Latin motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and the date 1887. The reverse features a majestic eagle with outstretched wings, holding an olive branch and arrows, encircled by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "ONE DOLLAR," and the national motto "IN GOD WE TRUST." The small "S" mintmark is positioned just below the wreath on the reverse, identifying its origin from the West Coast mint. This particular specimen has been certified in About Uncirculated 58 (AU-58) condition. This grade indicates a coin that retains nearly all of its original mint luster, showing only the slightest traces of wear on the highest design elements, making it an exceptional piece for study and appreciation.
