1890-S United States Morgan Silver Dollar – San Francisco Mint (AU)

CA$180.00

The 1890-S Morgan Silver Dollar is a classic American silver coin struck at the San Francisco Mint and composed of 90% silver. Designed by George T. Morgan, this iconic piece features Lady Liberty on the obverse with flowing hair and Phrygian cap, while the reverse showcases a powerful heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch.

Struck during the height of America’s silver coinage era, the 1890-S is a strong branch mint issue that is widely collected both as a type coin and within complete Morgan Dollar date-and-mintmark sets. San Francisco issues are known for sharper strikes and attractive luster, making them especially desirable among collectors.

This example shows solid detail with moderate circulation wear consistent with a mid-grade circulated coin. The “S” mintmark below the wreath confirms San Francisco origin.
