Additional Description: The 1891 Silver Morgan Dollar from the San Francisco Mint exemplifies the technical skill and artistry characteristic of that facility. George T. Morgan’s design presents Liberty in profile, crowned with wheat and cotton to represent the nation’s agricultural and industrial foundations. On the reverse, the American eagle spreads its wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, balancing strength with peace.
A small S mintmark beneath the wreath identifies the coin’s San Francisco origin, a mint celebrated for its sharp strikes and meticulous finish. Composed of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, it combines tangible value with enduring design.
While the 1891 San Francisco issue is not the rarest of the series, well-preserved examples reveal crisp detail and pleasing luster, making the coin a lasting testament to American craftsmanship and the optimism of the late Gilded Age.
