Design and Specifications of the 1902 Dollar

The 1902 Morgan Silver Dollar was part of the long-running Morgan dollar series, which began in 1878 and continued until 1904, with a final year of production in 1921. This coin was minted during a period of increasing silver production in the United States, resulting from the Sherman Silver Purchase Act of 1890.

By 1902, the Morgan dollar had been in circulation for over two decades, playing a crucial role in American commerce and serving as a symbol of the country’s economic strength. However, many of these coins were stored in bank vaults rather than circulated widely, as paper currency was becoming more popular for everyday transactions.

Weight 26.73 grams
Diameter 38.1 mm
Mint Marks O, S (No mint mark for Philadelphia)
Composition 90% silver, 10% copper
Obverse Design Liberty head design, also known as the Morgan dollar, designed by George T. Morgan
Reverse Design Heraldic eagle with wings spread, clutching arrows and an olive branch, designed by George T. Morgan

Rarity Factors and Value Drivers

The condition of a 1902 Morgan Dollar significantly impacts its value and desirability among collectors. Coins in uncirculated condition (MS60 and above) command substantial premiums, with values increasing dramatically for grades MS65 and higher.

Strike quality is particularly important for Morgan dollars, with well-struck coins showing full detail on Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s feathers being highly sought after. Luster is another crucial factor, with coins displaying full, original mint luster being most desirable. Toning can also affect value, with attractively toned specimens often commanding premiums among collectors.

Date and mint mark combination plays a role in determining value, with the San Francisco issue being the scarcest of the 1902 Morgan dollars. Die varieties, while not particularly significant for the 1902 issue, can add interest and value for specialized collectors.

The overall eye appeal of the coin is crucial, with coins free from distracting marks or blemishes being most desirable. Additionally, provenance can add value, especially if the coin can be traced to a famous collection or has been certified by a respected grading service.
