1904-S One Dollar MS Values
Details
While plentiful in the lower circulated grades, the 1904-S is a considerable scarcity even in the better circulated grades of XF and AU. In the uncirculated grades, small supplies are known in the MS60-64 range. However, in the Gem levels of MS65 or higher this issue is for all intents and purposes a rarity. PLs are extremely scarce and DMPLs are exceedingly rare. The Morgan dollars of 1904 marked the last year of production for this series until 1921.
This coin is made of 90% silver; 10% copper and has a current melt value of $56.78
