The San Francisco Mint is known for producing some rarities in the Morgan dollar series, but the 1897-S is among the S-mint Morgans that is common in worn grades and lower uncirculated levels. It is, however, quite scarce above MS65. Pieces grading MS67 or higher are extremely rare. PLs and DMPLs are scarce in all grades, with Gems grading MS65 quite rare.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse Description
The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
