There were many bills passed and vetoed, in the first years of minting the Morgan Silver dollar, as the government tried to regulate the amount of silver being mined. The history of the Morgan Silver Dollar reveals the politics of the precious metals market and how complicated it can be when it is all said and done. The government also had silver reserves that were only to be used to melt and mint silver dollars. Those reserves ran out in 1904 and just like that, the Morgan's production also came to an end. It wasn't until 1918 that the reauthorization of the minting and mining of silver coins was passed. In 1921, the Morgan was produced for the last time. Your 1894-S Morgan was minted in San Francisco and carries the "S" mint mark. The mint-mark can be seen on the reverse of the Morgan, underneath the eagle's tail feathers.
