1898-S Morgan Dollar MS-62 PCGS
The 1898 Morgan silver dollar stands as a classic representation of late nineteenth-century American coinage. Minted in San Francisco, this particular specimen is certified in Mint State 62 (MS-62) condition, preserving the intricate details of its design for modern observers. Containing 0.7734 troy ounces of 90 percent pure silver, the coin represents a time when precious metal currency circulated actively throughout the United States. On the obverse side, the profile of Liberty is depicted wearing a Phrygian cap. Her hair band is inscribed with the word "Liberty," surrounded by the Latin motto "E Pluribus Unum," thirteen stars representing the original colonies, and the 1898 year of issue. The reverse features a heraldic bald eagle holding an olive branch and arrows in its talons. Surrounding the central image are the inscriptions "United States of America" and "One Dollar," along with the motto "In God We Trust." The "S" mint mark, located just below the wreath on the reverse, identifies its origin at the historic San Francisco Mint.
