Immerse yourself in the legacy of the American West with this stunning 1888-S Morgan Dollar, certified MS-63 by PCGS and struck at the legendary San Francisco Mint.Journey back to 1888, a time when America was rapidly expanding westward, fueled by silver discoveries and the relentless spirit of progress. The Morgan Silver Dollar, born from the Bland-Allison Act, was more than just currency; it was a tangible symbol of this dynamic era. This particular specimen, an 1888-S Morgan Dollar, emerges from the esteemed San Francisco Mint, a facility renowned for producing coins of superior strike and brilliant luster, making "S"-minted issues highly coveted by collectors.
With a mintage of just 657,000, the 1888-S stands out as a scarcer issue within the popular Morgan Dollar series, especially in higher, uncirculated grades like this PCGS MS-63 example. This means that while many Morgan Dollars flooded circulation, far fewer of these San Francisco beauties were initially struck, and even fewer survived in such remarkable condition. Imagine the hands that might have held this very coin as it made its way from the "Granite Lady" mint, through the bustling streets of late 19th-century America, and now into your collection.
At the heart of the Morgan Dollar's enduring appeal is the masterful design by George T. Morgan. The obverse presents a captivating left-facing profile of Lady Liberty, her features modeled by Philadelphia schoolteacher Anna Willess Williams, adorned with a Phrygian cap and a headband inscribed "LIBERTY." She is encircled by the motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM," thirteen stars representing the original colonies, and the prominent date "1888."
Turning the coin reveals the reverse, showcasing a majestic bald eagle with outstretched wings, clutching an olive branch for peace and arrows for strength. Above the eagle, "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the iconic "IN GOD WE TRUST" are inscribed, with the "S" mint mark nestled below, signifying its San Francisco origin. Crafted from .900 fine silver, this one-dollar coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver and measures 38.1 mm in diameter with a thickness of 3.1 mm, embodying both artistic brilliance and tangible precious metal value. This 1888-S Morgan Dollar is perfect for the discerning collector who appreciates both numismatic scarcity and the rich tapestry of American history.
