It is difficult to find the 1898-S Morgan silver dollar in a condition that's better than Good-Very Good, since almost all of them were placed into circulation at the time of the famous gold rushes. One of the most famous gold rush cities, San Francisco, was incredibly busy during this time, minting the silver and gold that was being mined. In the San Francisco Mint's first year, it minted over $4 million of gold into coins. It grew so fast, it had to upgrade to a newer and larger building shortly after its opening. At the same time the Morgan was being struck, the Spanish-American War was ending as Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines ceded to the US. What a remarkable date to have that marks this amazing feat and honors a piece of history long forgotten? Your 1898-S is in extra fine condition, which is extremely hard to come by with this date!
