1895-S Morgan Dollar VF

0.7734 troy oz .900 1895 Very Fine

The 1895-S Morgan Dollar represents a fascinating moment in American currency history. Struck at the San Francisco Mint with a remarkably low mintage of just 400,000 pieces, this specific coin survived in the channels of commerce, showing the honest wear of a piece that circulated as money for approximately 80 years. It contains 0.7734 troy ounces of silver, minted with a purity of 0.900. On the obverse, the design showcases the profile of Liberty adorned with a Phrygian cap, which displays a hair band inscribed with the word "Liberty". Surrounding her portrait are thirteen stars representing the original colonies, the traditional motto "E Pluribus Unum", and the 1895 year of issue. The reverse depicts a bald eagle grasping an olive branch and arrows in its talons, symbolizing both peace and readiness. The inscriptions on this side include "United States of America", the denomination "One Dollar", and the motto "In God We Trust". Just below the eagle, the distinct "S" mint mark identifies its origin from the historic West Coast minting facility.
