Morgan Silver Dollar Fine Condition 1897-S

The San Francisco Mint was founded in 1854, as a result of the famous gold rushes on the west coast. In just its first year, it turned out $4 million of gold coins from all the gold being mined. Lady Liberty has been presented on US currency as along as the US has been a country. Sometimes, she is depicted as a strong Grecian goddess and other times she is a delicate seated figure. This temptation of placing Lady Liberty on all currency is actually the law. The Coinage act of 1792 requires the US Mint to include "an impression emblematic of liberty" on all currency. Your 1897-S Morgan is considered to be fine condition, with heavy amounts of wear on Lady Liberty's portrait and the eagle. The Morgan also carries the "S" mint-mark, to verify it was struck at the famous and successful San Francisco Mint.
