The AU55 grade offers an excellent balance between preservation, eye appeal, and value, making this an attractive choice for collectors seeking a high-quality circulated Morgan Dollar.

Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse features the iconic portrait of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap, while the reverse showcases a majestic eagle with outstretched wings clutching arrows and an olive branch. Struck in 90% silver, the Morgan Dollar combines precious-metal content with one of America's most recognizable classic coin designs.

The 1889-S is particularly appealing because of its limited mintage and San Francisco Mint origin. PCGS notes that the issue was once considered one of the great rarities of the Morgan Dollar series, adding an interesting layer of history to this classic date.
