The 1899-S Morgan dollar is a better date to be sure, but it is by no means rare, at least not in circulated or lower uncirculated grades. While generally lustrous and well struck, the 1899-S Morgan dollar becomes significantly scarcer in MS65 and extremely scarce in MS66. Examples grading in the MS67 level are quite rare. PLs are scarce in all grades, and the DMPL is, by Morgan dollar standards at the least, quite rare.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse Description
The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
Book Reference
Key to Collecting: The 1899-S is of medium scarcity. The typical Mint State coin is well struck and has excellent luster. Bagmarks are slight and not a problem with most 1899-S dollars, a pleasant aspect. Most coins in the MS-63 to MS-65 range are attractive indeed. Circulated coins, while not among the commonest, attract little market interest.
Surface Quality: Usually seen quite well struck. Finding an example will be no problem at all. Usually with rich, frosty luster.
Prooflike Coins: Often seen prooflike, but not with high contrast.
Mintage and Distribution: Delivery figures by month: January, 336,000; February, 336,000; March, 550,000; April, 284,000; May, 500,000; June, 510,000; July, 46,000; August– December, 0. Following the same script used for many other San Francisco dollars, those of 1899-S were scarce in early times, but later were paid out in quantity from Mint vaults. Most were released from about 1942 to the mid-1950’s, with many going to collectors and dealers, but vastly more reaching general circulation and the gaming tables of Nevada. By the early 1960’s most bags were gone.
VARIETIES:
Minor varieties of date and mintmark positions from 20 pairs of dies. At least two styles of mintmark punches were used, one being “narrow and medium” and the other being wide.
