Buy The 1902-S Morgan Silver Dollar Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) Online
The 1902-S Morgan Silver Dollar, an iconic coin minted in San Francisco. Crafted by George T. Morgan, one of the U.S. Mint’s most celebrated engravers, this stunning silver dollar was designed during a remarkable period in numismatic history. First produced in 1878, the Morgan Silver Dollar captivated collectors with its beauty and intricate design. In 1904, production was paused due to a silver shortage, resuming only briefly in 1921 when the series reached its conclusion.
The 1902-S Morgan is particularly sought-after due to its low mintage of just 1,530,000, a fraction of the Philadelphia and New Orleans versions that same year. This limited availability gives the 1902-S its rarity and collectible appeal, making it more challenging to find in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition.
Priced affordably for the passionate collector, this coin’s BU grade ensures its brilliance and detail are as remarkable today as they were over a century ago.
