1890-S Morgan Silver Dollar – San Francisco Mint
This 1890-S Morgan Silver Dollar was struck at the San Francisco Mint, renowned for producing some of the highest-quality Morgan Dollars in the series. Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse features Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with wheat and cotton, symbolizing freedom and agricultural prosperity.
The reverse displays a majestic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, framed by a laurel wreath and the motto “In God We Trust.” The “S” mint mark beneath the wreath confirms its San Francisco origin.
This coin shows even circulation wear with attractive silver-gray toning, giving it a classic, historic look. Details remain clear throughout Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s wings, making it a strong collectible example of late 19th-century U.S. silver coinage.
