Design and Specifications of the 1892 Dollar

The 1892 Morgan Silver Dollar marks the resumption of silver dollar production after a four-year hiatus. This coin is significant as it represents the first year of Morgan dollar production following the Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1890, which required the Treasury to purchase larger quantities of silver, leading to increased dollar coin production.

Weight 26.73 grams
Diameter 38.1 mm
Mint Marks O, S, CC
Composition 90% silver, 10% copper
Obverse Design Liberty head with flowing hair, designed by George T. Morgan
Reverse Design Heraldic eagle with shield, designed by George T. Morgan

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

The condition of 1892 Morgan Dollars significantly impacts their value. Uncirculated specimens, particularly those grading MS65 or higher, are highly sought after and command substantial premiums. The Carson City (CC) mintage is especially valuable in high grades due to its lower mintage and historical significance.

Coins with deep, frosty luster and minimal contact marks are most desirable. Attractive toning can also enhance value, particularly for the San Francisco and Carson City issues.

Strike quality is an important factor for 1892 Morgan Dollars. Well-struck coins with full detail on Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers are more valuable. The Carson City (CC) mint mark adds significant value due to its popularity among collectors and its lower mintage.

For all mint marks, prooflike and deep mirror prooflike surfaces can command substantial premiums. Additionally, any major die varieties or errors, though not common for this year, could significantly increase a coin's value if discovered.
