Morgan Silver Dollar Almost Uncirculated 1899-S plus

Since Morgan silver dollars were minted at several different mints across the country, sometimes collectors are more interested in the coin's mint-mark than the actual mintage of the coin. Each mint claims the coins they produced by placing a mint-mark on the back of the Morgan, underneath the tail feathers. The "O" mint-mark represents the New Orleans sector of the mint, "CC" stands for the Carson City, Philadelphia doesn't have a mint-mark, and San Francisco uses a "S." Your 1899-S Morgan features the "S" mint-mark on the reverse and still contains some of its original luster. George T. Morgan's depiction of Lady Liberty is illustrated on the obverse, an up close portrait of her lovely face. The prominent eagle, which has represented pride and authority in the US for hundreds of years, is on the reverse of the Morgan, with the "S" mint-mark underneath its delicate tail feathers.
