1898-S Morgan Dollar VG/VF
Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this 1898 silver dollar represents a classic era of American coinage. Containing 0.7734 troy ounces of silver, the coin belongs to a mintage of 4,102,000 pieces. This series circulated widely across the United States, remaining a staple of daily commerce for around 80 years. The obverse features a profile of Liberty adorned with a Phrygian cap, her hair band inscribed with the word Liberty. Encircling her portrait are thirteen stars representing the original colonies, the date 1898, and the Latin motto E Pluribus Unum. On the reverse, a bald eagle is depicted clutching an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing both peace and defense. The reverse design is framed by the inscriptions United States of America and One Dollar, alongside the motto In God We Trust. The San Francisco origin is marked by the letter S located on this side.
