It is nearly impossible 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. Being the most famous gold rush city on the west coast, San Francisco was incredibly busy during this time. In the San Francisco Mint's first year, it minted over $4 million of gold into coins. It grew so fast, it had to expand its production to another larger building shortly after its opening. This building has gone down in history as the Granite Lady, since it withstood the deadly earthquake of 1906. Your 1898-S is in fine condition, which is extremely hard to come by with this date! One aspect to expect from fine condition is the large amount of wear on the surface of the coin, making the surface incredibly smooth and lacking in detail.
