  • Rare Mint Error "Railroad Rim" Effect: This Partial Collar Mint Error occurred when the coin was not fully seated in the collar die during striking, creating an uneven rim with a distinct "railroad track" appearance—an eye-catching anomaly that sets this Morgan Dollar apart.

  • San Francisco Mint Quality: Struck at the prestigious San Francisco Mint, known for producing some of the finest Morgan Dollars, this 1897-S example in NGC AU50 retains strong details, sharp devices, and original mint luster, showcasing its well-preserved beauty.

  • Silver & History in One Coin: Composed of 90% silver, this Morgan Dollar is not just a collectible but a tangible link to America's rich numismatic past. The late 19th century was a time of economic expansion and industrial growth, and this coin, with its error, tells a unique story of its production era.

A fascinating blend of history and minting anomaly, this 1897-S Morgan Silver Dollar from the San Francisco Mint is more than just a piece of silver—it’s a rare glimpse into the imperfections of 19th-century coin production. Certified NGC AU50, this coin retains impressive detail and sharp design elements, while its unique Partial Collar Mint Error makes it a standout in any collection.

During minting, this Morgan Dollar was not fully seated within the collar die, resulting in a distinct "railroad rim" effect, where part of the edge appears raised while the rest remains normal. This striking irregularity serves as a testament to the raw, mechanical nature of coin production over a century ago.

With its rich luster, historical significance, and error rarity, this 90% silver Morgan Dollar offers collectors a piece of both numismatic history and minting mystery. Don’t miss the chance to own a conversation-starting, one-of-a-kind silver classic!
