The 1890s initially saw balanced production across the US Mint’s three active branches striking the Morgan Dollars. Later dates in the decade saw production typically skew heavily toward one branch mint over the other two. In 1899, for example, Philadelphia issued just 330,000 coins and San Francisco issued 2.56 million coins, while New Orleans struck 12.29 million coins.

This 1899-S Morgan Silver Dollar is in Mint State 64 condition with a CAC label authenticating its certification. MS64 coins typically have light, scattered marks and a few noticeable hairlines. This piece has sharply rendered strikes on Liberty and the heraldic eagle, with light toning around the rim. The toning creates contrast between the silver-gray finish of the coin and its champagne-gold effect, as well as hints of rose-colored toning around the rim. The NGC reports just 744 coins from a mintage of 2.562 million coins that earned this certification level in the 1899-S release.

On the obverse side of the 1899-S Morgan Dollar Coins, the United States Mint presents George T. Morgan’s portrait of Lady Liberty. This left-profile depiction shows Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap, accompanied by a coronet crown and a laurel wreath atop her head. The outer edge of the design features a ring of 13 stars.

The reverse of the 1899-S Morgan Silver Dollar also features artwork from George T. Morgan. This side depicts the heraldic eagle in a front-facing stance, grasping arrows in one talon to represent war and an olive branch in the other to signify peace.
