Coin Details & History:
The Morgan Silver Dollar, designed by George T. Morgan, was minted from 1878 to 1904, with a final mintage in 1921. The 1903-S Morgan Dollar was struck at the San Francisco Mint, identified by the "S" mint mark beneath the wreath on the reverse.
The obverse features Lady Liberty’s profile, wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with cotton and wheat, symbolizing agricultural prosperity. The reverse showcases a bald eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, representing strength and peace.
The 1903-S is considered scarce in higher grades, making it a desirable piece among collectors. This particular coin appears to be in About Uncirculated (AU) condition, showing minimal wear with much of the original detail intact.
