The 1889-S Morgan Silver Dollar stands as a solid mid-mintmark issue from the San Francisco Mint, struck during a year when production reached 700,000 pieces—modest compared to Philadelphia’s millions but typical for the “S” mint in the late 1880s. PCGS has graded 3,389 as MS63 with 3,625 finer.
George T. Morgan’s classic design remains crisp in MS-63: Liberty’s cheek and hair show only light, scattered contact marks, while the eagle’s breast feathers retain strong detail with minor abrasions.
Luster on certified MS-63 examples ranges from satiny to slightly frosty, often with a thin layer of champagne or russet toning around the rims that many collectors find appealing. Strike quality is generally above average for San Francisco Morgans of the period; most pieces display well-struck hair over Liberty’s ear and clear feather definition.
Today, PCGS and NGC have graded several thousand in MS-63, placing it within reach for date-and-mintmark collectors seeking an attractive, original example without entering the rare-coin stratosphere. It remains a straightforward, well-balanced representative of Morgan’s enduring design.
