1894 One Dollar MS Values
Details
Boasting only a slightly higher mintage figure than the 1893-S, the 1894 has the second lowest mintage of all circulation strikes in the series. While perhaps not quite as popular as the 1893-CC or 1893-S Morgans, this piece is no less sought by series enthusiasts. It is especially rare in grades higher than MS64, with small numbers in MS65 and only a handful known in MS66 or better. PLs and DMPLs are exceedingly rare, with none known in the Gem grades. Be careful when buying raw examples that the piece under consideration is not an 1894-O or 1894-S with a removed mintmark.
Obverse: 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: 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.
