Description
The 1893 (S) Morgan Dollar is a dollar produced at the San Francisco Mint as part of the Morgan Dollars 1878-1921 series. With a mintage of 100,000, this is an extremely rare issue — the lowest mintage among 4 mint variants, representing only 7% of total production. The obverse features Liberty facing left wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with wheat and cotton, encircled by stars and the reverse displays an eagle with outstretched wings clutching an olive branch and arrows, surrounded by a wreath. The 1893-S with a mintage of 100,000 is the key regular-issue date of the entire series. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, established during the California Gold Rush and now primarily producing proof and collector coins. Estimated market value ranges from $5.0K to $727K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7226.
