From San Francisco's "Granite Lady," this 1891-S Morgan Dollar, graded MS-64 by NGC, is a genuine piece of America's Gilded Age. Its crisp strike offers a vivid snapshot of late 19th-century silver coinage from the U.S. Mint.Imagine the bustling energy of San Francisco in 1891, a city thriving on the promise of the West and the riches flowing from its mines. This very dollar, a U.S. Mint production from the San Francisco branch, carries the "S" mint mark to signify its origin from the historic "Granite Lady"—the impressive second San Francisco Mint building. With a mintage of 5,296,000 pieces that year, the San Francisco Mint was a powerhouse of coinage, creating the circulating currency that fueled a rapidly expanding nation.
Designed by George T. Morgan, the dollar’s obverse presents a striking profile of Lady Liberty, her cap adorned with wheat and cotton, symbolizing agricultural prosperity. The reverse features a majestic eagle with wings spread wide, clutching arrows and an olive branch, embodying strength and peace. This particular coin, meticulously preserved and graded MS-64 by NGC, showcases the excellent quality strikes often associated with the San Francisco Mint's output, retaining much of its original luster.
This 1891-S Morgan Dollar is more than just a coin; it's a tangible link to an era of significant economic growth and national development. Crafted with a composition of .900 fine silver and .100 copper, each dollar contains 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver, weighing 26.73 grams, with a diameter of 38.1 mm and a thickness of 3.1 mm. Holding this one-dollar denomination, certified in Mint State 64, allows you to connect directly with the silver rush, the cross-country railroads, and the everyday transactions of Americans living through a dynamic period in history. It's an opportunity to own a tangible reminder of that period, expertly evaluated and authenticated for its lasting quality.
