<B>1893-S $1 --Cleaned--ANACS. AU55 Details.</B></I> What happened to the 100,000 1893-S Morgan dollars immediately after they were struck is the subject of speculation. While thousands were released into circulation, it is also possible that thousands were melted under the terms of the Pittman Act, according to David Bowers in his <I>Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the United States: A Complete Encyclopedia</B></I>.<BR> The present AU55 Details example, while revealing some fine hairlines under magnification, displays traces of luster residing in the recessed areas. Moreover, the silver-gray surfaces are devoid of mentionable contact marks, and the design elements are well defined. Despite the light cleaning, this specimen would fit comfortably in a high-grade Morgan dollar set.<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> George T.
