1896-S Morgan Dollar AU-58 NGC
The 1896 Morgan silver dollar represents a classic era of American coinage, minted during a time when silver dollars were a staple of commerce. This particular specimen was struck at the San Francisco Mint and carries the distinctive 'S' mint mark on its reverse. Out of a total mintage of 5,000,000 pieces for this year and mint combination, this coin has survived in an exceptional state of preservation, certified at an About Uncirculated 58 grade. Struck in 90 percent silver, the coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse displays the classic profile of Liberty, facing left, with the date 1896 positioned at the bottom rim. The design captures the meticulous details of the hair and crown, which remain remarkably sharp due to the coin's high grade, showing only the slightest traces of friction from its brief time in circulation.
