1900-S Morgan Silver Dollar

The 1900-S Morgan Silver Dollar had just over 3.5 million total mintage from the San Francisco Mint. The demand for these silver dollars was low at the time of mintage, so the 1900-S Morgan Silver Dollar was mostly kept in storage. There were two different reverse hubs with this coin that were significantly different from each other, but very few collectors have both variations. The 1900-S Morgan Silver Dollar is fairly easy to find, especially in Mint State. 

 

History of the 1900-S Morgan Silver Dollar

The 1900-S Morgan Silver Dollar is plentiful in Mint State, most likely due to the majority of them being stored after striking. Circulated grades are also possible to find, but are more scarce.

Most of these coins have an attractive and frosty luster, but the striking varies from flat to sharp. A keen eye and willingness to search for that perfect 1900-S Morgan Silver Dollar is well worth it when you find it. 

 

1900-S Morgan Silver Dollar Value

The 1900-S Morgan Silver Dollar value ranges from the hundreds to the mid-tens of thousands. The San Francisco Mint Mark was shifting during this time period from a more narrow S punch to a more wide S punch. Many of these coins were melted down, but many still survived. Cherrypicking is highly advised with this coin, as some can have a weaker strike. It’s possible to find a high-quality 1900-S Morgan Silver Dollar without too much effort though.
