Additional Description: The 1892 Silver Morgan Dollar from the San Francisco Mint exemplifies the precision and artistry for which that facility was renowned. George T. Morgan’s design presents Liberty in profile, her features crowned with wheat and cotton to reflect the nation’s agricultural and industrial foundations. On the reverse, the American eagle spreads its wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing strength balanced with peace.

A small S mintmark beneath the wreath denotes its San Francisco origin, a mint celebrated for sharp strikes and well-defined detail. Composed of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, the coin combines intrinsic value with aesthetic refinement.
The Morgan series, well-preserved 1892 San Francisco examples display exceptional luster and crisp detail, serving as enduring artifacts of American craftsmanship and the economic confidence of the late Gilded Age.
