Additional Description: The 1898 Silver Morgan Dollar from the San Francisco Mint exemplifies the technical precision and artistic refinement characteristic of that facility. George T. Morgan’s design portrays 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, representing both strength and peace.
A small S mintmark beneath the wreath identifies 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 craftsmanship of the highest order, serving as enduring examples of American coinage and a tangible link to the optimism and design sensibilities of the late nineteenth century.
