The Morgan silver dollar was produced at four main US Mints from 1878-1904. The San Francisco Mint and the Philadelphia Mint are still in production today, wherein the New Orleans Mint and the Carson City Mint were decommissioned around the same time the Morgan's production ceased. The San Francisco Mint was first established in order to supply a place gold miners could sell their gold. It ended up being a very lucrative business, turning out $4 million dollars of gold in its first year. It quickly outgrew its first building and moved to the Granite Lady building, where it withheld its structure during the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The building wasn't actually made of granite, just the basement was but the name was used for marketing and stuck. In 1937, it moved to its final facility that is still the San Fran Mint today. Your 1892-S Morgan carries the "S" mint-mark and is in extra fine condition.
