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 very fine condition. Morgans that are considered to be very fine tend to have noticeable wear on the main images, such as Lady Liberty, the cotton leaves, and the eagle on the reverse. Only 1.2 million of these Morgans were produced, alluring in coin collectors to add this low mintage gem to their collection.
