<B>1893-S S$1 AU50 ANACS.</B></I> The '93-S has a mintage of 100,000 coins. In his book <I>Silver Dollars and Trade Dollars of the U.S.,</B></I> David Bowers mentions that tens of thousands of 1893-S dollars may have been melted under terms of the 1918 Pittman Act (in which more than 259 million silver dollars were melted for resale to England at $1 per fine ounce). Bowers estimates that between 4,000 and 8,000 '93-S dollars are extant in the grade range from VF20 to AU58. The AU50 specimen we offer here has bright silver-gray surfaces with a prooflike glint remaining in the protected areas. The design elements are nicely defined, though touches of weakness show in the hair above Liberty's hair, and on the eagle's breast and leg feathers. A few small abrasions are evident, particularly on Liberty's cheek and at the point of her neck to star 1. This very desirable key date coin will make a fine addition to a high-grade circulated collection of Morgan dollars.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
