1896-S Morgan Dollar VF-35 NGC CAC
The 1896 Morgan Silver Dollar stands as a classic representative of America's late nineteenth-century coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this specific issue carries the prominent 'S' mint mark on its reverse, signaling its West Coast origins. With a total mintage of 5,000,000 pieces for this year and location, each surviving specimen offers a tangible connection to the monetary landscape of the era. This particular coin has been certified in Very Fine 35 (VF-35) condition, indicating it circulated in commerce but still retains clear design details and pleasing surface preservation. Composed of 90% silver, the coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse features the year 1896 beneath the profile of Liberty, while the reverse displays the traditional eagle motif accompanied by the inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'ONE DOLLAR', and the motto 'In God we trust'.
