Many entered circulation in the West, where silver dollars served as everyday money, leaving relatively few in high grade today. The popular “S” mintmark sits below the wreath on the reverse.
This example, certified PCGS MS-63 Sight White, displays sharp details with only light, scattered contact marks—typical for the grade. The Sight White designation indicates exceptionally clean, unmarked surfaces with no haze or discoloration, giving the coin a bright, frosty appearance under strong light.
Luster remains full and cartwheeling, with original mint bloom still evident in the protected areas around the stars and lettering. The strike is well-executed for the issue, showing clear separation in Liberty’s hairlines and the cotton leaves. This is a straightforward, attractive mid-grade 1890-S that stands out for its clean, white surfaces.
