Question about slabbed dollar coins

Hi everyone. Just a question about when dollar coins are slabbed. I've seen an "S" before the $1 designation on the slabs for these coins (e.g. Morgans, peace). Seen it on PCGS, NGC, and ICG slabs. On all coins, not just San Francisco issues. What does this mean/stand for?? It's kinda driving me nuts....nothing about it on NGCs web site...HELP!! Thanks.

Post a pic of the slab.......you're drivin' me nuts too.

 

That S is for Silver

 

Who'd o' thunk?

 

Correct. At one time, since clad IKE Dollars were out, the TPG's felt the need to specify that the $1 was a silver dollar.







At a later point in time, the word SILVER was added effectively replacing S$1



Sometimes, the label got both!

 

That's it!! Thanks so much. Silly me, I thought right after I posted this "I bet that stands for silver"....haha.

 

Also to differentiate from the 19 th c gold dollars of same dates which have G$1 on the slab

 

YES.
