1896-S Morgan Dollar XF-40 PCGS
The 1896 Morgan silver dollar stands as a classic example of late nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of silver with a purity of 0.900. It has been certified in Extremely Fine 40 (XF-40) condition, preserving the distinct details of its historic engraving for modern observers to appreciate. On the obverse, the profile of Liberty is depicted wearing a Phrygian cap, a traditional symbol of freedom. The design is encircled by thirteen stars representing the original colonies, the year 1896, and the Latin motto "E Pluribus Unum". The word "Liberty" is also visible on her band. The reverse displays a heraldic bald eagle with its wings spread, grasping an olive branch and a cluster of arrows in its talons to represent peace and readiness. Surrounding the central image are the inscriptions "United States of America", "One Dollar", and the motto "In God We Trust". The "S" mint mark is positioned on the reverse side, located just below the wreath.
