Additional Description: The 1897 Silver Morgan Dollar from the San Francisco Mint exemplifies the precision and artistry characteristic of that facility. George T. Morgan’s design presents Liberty in profile, her hair crowned with wheat and cotton to symbolize the nation’s agricultural and industrial foundations. On the reverse, the American eagle spreads its wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, a timeless emblem of strength tempered by 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 refined craftsmanship.
