The San Francisco Mint was first established in order to supply a place gold miners could sell their gold. This west coast mint still stands today as one of the last original US Mints, the San Francisco Mint has earned its reputable and dependable reputation. The San Francisco Mint's success 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. Your 1890-S Morgan represents the San Francisco Mint by sporting a "S" mint-mark on its reverse. Your coin is also in good-very good condition, with large amounts of wear to be expected but the date is still readable.
