The 1896-S Morgan Dollar is a fairly rare coin not found as much as it is assumed to be having a mintage of 5,000,ooo coins. Like the 1896-O, it is a valuable coin with a poor strike and fair luster. Unfortunately, unlike the 1896-O, other lower worn grade coins are not as easy to find. The low amounts of the 1896-S Morgan is due to the fact that the majority of the coins were melted back down years after being locked up in vaults. Coins in Extra Fine grade are worth around the $200-$300 range, AU coins go for anywhere from about $800 to $1,000. The 1896-S Morgan Dollar in MS-60 goes for around $1,500, about $200,000 as MS-68, and then in MS-69, close to $400,000.
