Description
A Scarce San Francisco Issue from the Classic Morgan Dollar Series
Offered for consideration is an 1895-S Morgan Silver Dollar, professionally graded and authenticated by Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC) as XF Details – Obverse Damage.
The 1895-S is widely recognised as one of the tougher semi-key dates within the Morgan Dollar series. Struck at the historic San Francisco Mint, coins from this period saw heavy circulation, and far fewer examples survive today compared with common Philadelphia issues.
Historical Context
The Morgan Dollar series (1878–1921) reflects a defining era in United States monetary history, closely linked to western silver production and the Bland-Allison Act. By 1895, mintages were declining, and San Francisco strikes in particular experienced extensive circulation, contributing to their present-day scarcity and enduring collector demand.
