1896-S Morgan Dollar Fine
The 1896 Morgan silver dollar represents a classic era of American coinage. Minted in San Francisco, this coin is composed of 90 percent silver, which equates to 0.7734 troy ounces of the precious metal. With a total production run of 5,000,000 pieces, this issue is a notable representative of the late nineteenth-century currency system. The obverse design presents a left-facing profile of Liberty. She wears a Phrygian cap adorned with a band displaying her name. Surrounding this central figure are the Latin motto "E Pluribus Unum", the 1896 year of issue, and thirteen stars representing the original colonies. On the reverse, a bald eagle is depicted clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons. The inscriptions on this side include "United States of America", "One Dollar", and the national motto "In God We Trust". This specific coin has survived in Fine condition, showing honest wear from its time in circulation while retaining its essential design elements.
