1891-S Morgan Dollar MS-64 NGC
The 1891 Morgan Dollar stands as a remarkable example of late nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this silver piece contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. This particular specimen has achieved a certified grade of Mint State 64 (MS-65), indicating its excellent state of preservation and lustrous detail. On the obverse, the profile of Liberty is depicted wearing a Phrygian cap, with the word "LIBERTY" clearly visible on her hair band. This central figure is encircled by the traditional Latin motto "E Pluribus Unum", thirteen stars representing the original colonies, and the 1891 date of manufacture. The reverse displays a powerful bald eagle with outstretched wings, clutching both an olive branch and arrows in its talons. Surrounding this central motif are the inscriptions "United States of America", the denomination "One Dollar", and the national motto "In God We Trust". The "S" mint mark below the eagle's wreath identifies its origin from the historic West Coast minting facility.
