1891-S Morgan Dollar MS-64 PCGS
The 1891 Morgan Silver Dollar struck at the San Francisco Mint represents a fascinating moment in American coining. Out of a total mintage of 5,296,000 pieces, this particular specimen survives in an exceptional state of preservation, graded as Mint State 64 (MS-64). Crafted from 0.900 fine silver, each of these historic coins contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal, weighing a total of 1.755 troy ounces with a diameter of 38.1 mm and a thickness of 3.1 mm. Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse features a left-facing profile of Lady Liberty. She wears a Phrygian cap adorned with a wreath of cotton and wheat, symbolizing American agricultural abundance, with the word LIBERTY inscribed along the band. The reverse displays a majestic bald eagle with its wings fully spread, grasping an olive branch of peace and arrows of readiness. Surrounding the eagle are the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, and the denomination ONE DOLLAR, with the S mint mark located just below the wreath to denote its San Francisco origin.
