Additional Description: The 1895 Silver Morgan Dollar from the San Francisco Mint is a rare and historically significant issue within the series. George T. Morgan’s design depicts Liberty in profile, crowned with wheat and cotton to symbolize the nation’s agricultural and industrial foundations, while the reverse features the American eagle with wings outstretched, clutching arrows and an olive branch to convey strength and peace.

A small S mintmark beneath the wreath identifies its San Francisco origin, a mint renowned for its precision strikes and well-defined detail. Composed of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, the coin combines intrinsic value with refined artistry, a pivotal moment in American coinage history and the technical excellence of Gilded Age minting.
