NGC MORGAN & PEACE DOLLAR SLAB MARKINGS

[Cornhusker Coins-migration]

Does anyone know what the S stands for S$1 on all NGC certified Morgan and Peace dollars to the right of the date on their slabs?

Welcome to the forum.

 

S=Silver

Good question, Thanks Mark.

 

 

I too have wondered what that S means, but never for long enough to ask I guess...

S=silver as opposed to G=gold.

 

For 73-cents in nickels....guess what F=?

Or as opposed to T=Trade

"F" equals "Fool" if you arrive at an answer.

...Heck -- I'll through in 17 slightly used frequent flyer miles IN ADDITION to the 73 cents.....Now that's quite an offer.

Got a quick response from NGC. The S in S$1 on all NGC certified Morgan & Peace dollars, which is just to the right of the date and mint mark stands for silver.

You are definitely right on top of things....

...Hmmmm, looks like it's left of the dollar sign and numeric denomination, from here.

S$1 is used on all silver dollars through 1935, T$1 is used for trade dollars, G$1 is used for gold dollars and $1 is used for all dollars 1971 to date, regardless of composition. These later coins are also labeled SILVER or CLAD, whenever both compositions were used.

To use chickens, the metal/ type is self-evident; but, it matters to the database designers.
