- Eagerly Sought 1893-S Silver Dollar 1893-S Morgan Silver Dollar. AU-50 (NGC). An uncommonly high grade survivor of this key date Morgan dollar issue, both sides of this brilliant example retain sharp striking detail to all but the highest design elements. Ample luster remains, as well, the finish bright with a blend of satin and softly frosted characteristics. Pleasingly smooth for the assigned grade, this endearing piece will have no difficulty finding its way into an advanced Morgan dollar set. With only 100,000 pieces produced this is the lowest mintage circulation strike silver dollar of its type. While many of these coins were likely melted under terms of the 1918 Pittman Act, thousands were released into commercial channels. The latter probably happened no later than the earliest decades of the 20th century, for the typical example offered in today's market is well worn in grades such as Fine and VF. This is an above average circulated survivor whose significance is further enhanced when we consider the awesome rarity of the 1893-S in Mint State. Provenance: From the Claudia St John Collection. PCGS# 7226. NGC ID: 255U. Click here for certification details from NGC.
