The Certified Morgan Silver Dollar 1904-S AU58 NGC stands as a testament to a fascinating era in American history, capturing the essence of the early 20th century and the enduring legacy of the Morgan Silver Dollar series. Minted at the San Francisco Mint in 1904, this coin carries with it a rich history and serves as a tangible link to the economic and cultural developments of the time.
The Morgan Silver Dollar, designed by George T. Morgan, first entered circulation in 1878. Its iconic design featuring Lady Liberty on the obverse and a majestic eagle on the reverse quickly became synonymous with American coinage, symbolizing the nation's prosperity and growth during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The obverse of the Morgan Silver Dollar showcases a striking portrayal of Lady Liberty, with her hair flowing freely and a Phrygian cap adorning her head. Surrounding her are the words "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and the date of issue, 1904 in the case of this particular coin. The reverse design features a majestic eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing America's strength and desire for peace.
The 1904-S Morgan Silver Dollar was minted at the San Francisco Mint, one of the primary minting facilities of the United States at the time. The "S" mint mark on the reverse of the coin indicates its origin, adding an extra layer of historical significance and collectibility.
With a mintage of approximately 2.3 million coins, the 1904-S Morgan Silver Dollar is considered relatively scarce compared to other dates in the series. The San Francisco Mint's reputation for producing high-quality coins adds to the appeal and desirability of examples minted at this facility.
