1889-S Morgan Silver Dollar NGC/PCGS MS63

Low Mintage, High Quality 1889-S Morgan Silver Dollar

Over the five-year span from 1878-to 1882, the San Francisco Mint struck nearly 50 million Morgan Silver Dollars. During the next 22 years from 1883 to 1904, only around 60 million Morgans were struck in San Francisco–and five of those years had a mintage under 1 million–including this one from 1889 with a mintage of just 700,000! What's more, each coin available here has been certified, graded, and encapsulated by either the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) or the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in Choice Uncirculated Mint State-63 (MS63) condition!

Scarce Silver Dollars From The Granite Lady

First struck in 1878, the Morgan Silver Dollar was one of the workhorse coins of the American Wild West. Struck in high pure 90% fine silver, they're believed to be the most widely collected and coveted Silver Dollar in U.S. history–perhaps in part because their numbers were dramatically slashed by the Pittman Act of 1918, which called for millions of Morgans to be melted. It's believed that as few as 15% of all Morgans still exist today in any condition. And of all the Morgans ever struck, collectors believe that the most beautiful are those that bear the "S" mint mark of the San Francisco Mint.

This coin was actually struck at the San Francisco Mint's second building, construction on which was completed in 1874. The building was soon nicknamed the "Granite Lady" due to its massive two-story structure built out of granite to handle the heavy minting equipment. This second building remained in operation for 63 years and was the only financial institution left standing and still in operation following the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906.

COIN HIGHLIGHTS:

• AMERICA'S MOST POPULAR COIN – The Morgan Silver Dollar–so named for its designer, U.S. Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan–has stood the test of time. Struck from 1878-1904 and again in 1921, it was the coin of America's "Wild West" and jingled in the coin purses of gamblers, gunfighters, soldiers, and dance hall girls.
• CLASSIC DESIGNS – Morgan's historic design depicts a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse while the reverse features an eagle with outstretched wings. The model used for Liberty was Miss Anna Williams of Philadelphia, who Morgan declared to have the most perfect feminine profile he had ever seen.
• STRUCK IN GLEAMING AMERICAN SILVER – Morgan Silver Dollars were struck in highly pure 90% fine silver from the famous Comstock Lode and measure 38.1 mm in diameter.
• LEGAL TENDER SILVER DOLLAR – Morgans were $1 legal tender and struck during the heyday of America's Wild West era where coins were overwhelmingly preferred over paper currency.
• HIGH-GRADE UNCIRCULATED CONDITION – Your coin was graded by either the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) or the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) in Choice Uncirculated Mint State-63 (MS63) condition. Grading service varies.
• THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING MORGANS – While millions of Morgan Silver Dollars were struck from 1878 through 1921, massive silver meltings and the ravages of time have taken their toll. Today coin experts believe that only 15% of all Morgans ever struck remain in existence–and fewer still remain in Mint State-63 Uncirculated condition!
