Additional Description: The 1904 Silver Morgan Dollar from the San Francisco Mint stands as one of the final expressions of George T. Morgan’s enduring design before the series was halted. Liberty is depicted in profile, her hair adorned 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; symbols of strength and peace in balance. The small *S* mintmark beneath the wreath identifies its San Francisco origin, a mint celebrated for its precise strikes and exceptional quality. Composed of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, the coin combines tangible value with refined artistry. The 1904 San Francisco Morgan Dollar marks the closing of an era in U.S. coinage, as silver production slowed and demand waned. Well-preserved examples reveal crisp relief and brilliant luster, serving as elegant reminders of America’s craftsmanship and industrial confidence at the dawn of the twentieth century.
