This particular United States coin, struck at the San Francisco Mint, represents a significant issue within a larger series of silver currency. Its production occurred during a period of economic change and increased demand for silver coinage. The “S” mint mark distinguishes it from those produced at other minting facilities.
These coins hold value both for their intrinsic silver content and their numismatic significance. Collectors are often drawn to them due to their relative scarcity, condition rarity, and historical context, contributing to their desirability in the coin collecting community. Their design, featuring Liberty and an eagle, is also iconic.
