Description

1896-S Morgan Silver Dollar – San Francisco Mint – .900 Silver

 This listing features an 1896 Morgan Silver Dollar struck at the San Francisco Mint, identified by the “S” mintmark on the reverse below the wreath. Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse presents a left-facing portrait of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap with agricultural motifs, while the reverse depicts a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings clutching arrows and an olive branch. This issue is notable as one of the scarcer dates within the Morgan Dollar series, particularly in higher circulated and uncirculated grades.
