The 1890-S Morgan Silver Dollar emerges from the San Francisco Mint during a year when silver production surged, yet the mint still managed to strike coins with exceptional strike and luster. NGC has graded 2,546 as MS64 with 602 finer.
Graded NGC MS-64, this piece sits in the sweet spot of Mint State preservation: sharp details remain throughout the hair, cap, and eagle feathers, while the fields retain strong reflectivity beneath light, original “Coca-Cola” toning. As discussed, only one hairline separates this piece from gem status, giving it honest character without detracting from its eye appeal.
Collectors often favor the 1890-S for its balanced combination of technical quality and classic Western mint charm. Coins that bear the “S” mintmark have been desired by collectors for decades. In MS-64, it represents a readily obtainable yet still impressive survivor from the final decade of large-scale Morgan production.
