Guidelines for Collecting:

The 1894-S Morgan dollar is an exceptional issue. Most are well-struck, lustrous and possess good eye appeal. Specimens in higher Mint State grades will complement a high-quality collection. The typical 1894-S dollar has excellent luster, but some have die-polishing lines in the field, consisting of tiny raised lines that can make a coin appear as if it has been cleaned. Technicalities such as this are interesting and are not widely known.

Availability in Circulated Grades:

The date can be found in most circulated grades but an EF or AU would be ideal for a circulated Morgan set.

Availability in Mint State Grades:

Available in MS-60 and finer with not much difficulty, though the population thins somewhat at MS-64. MS-65 coins are a definite minority, and anything finer will cost a small fortune when and if found. We like a solid MS-64 coin for this date, one with good luster and a bold strike—fortunately for today’s collectors, many of this date answer that call.

Availability in Proof:

None produced.
