Guidelines for Collecting:

Most 1903-S dollars are well struck, very lustrous, and quite beautiful. Bagmarks are minimal. Overall, the 1903-S is a rare issue in the Morgan dollar series with Mint State coins in demand at all levels. Hundreds of thousands of 1903-S coins were likely melted under the 1918 Pittman Act.

Availability in Circulated Grades:

EF and AU pieces dot the marketplace though they do not come cheaply—an AU will cost $1,000+ but is still a viable alternative to a costly Mint State coin.

Availability in Mint State Grades:

Many of today’s known specimens come from bags released over many years by the San Francisco Mint. This supply dried up in the 1950s. A hand-picked MS-63 coin is worth owning for those who have the numismatic budget for such a purchase. Look for sharpness and luster, two qualities that are generally present for the date.

Availability in Proof:

None produced.
