1897 San Francisco Morgan Silver Dollar in Very Good to Very Fine Condition

The 1897-S Morgan Silver Dollar was struck at the San Francisco Mint and is considered a somewhat tougher date in the series, especially in higher grades. George T. Morgan’s iconic design of Lady Liberty and the heraldic eagle stands out even in circulated condition, and the “S” mintmark adds West Coast minting history to this classic American silver dollar. Many of these coins saw extensive use in commerce, contributing to their relative scarcity in well-preserved states.
