Nice coin. Never saw this one before. You see different things day after day.

 

Here are a couple popular San Francisco numismatic medals. Very low mintages on these. Under a couple hundred IIRC.







And here is the 'error' version they first minted, until someone figured out it wasn't the bicentennial of the mint, but just the centennial . Of course the bicentennial of the US was on everybody's mind back in the 1970's.

Everyone should have figured out that from 1874 to 1974 was only 100 years.

Y'all should know by now that Zoid doesn't have a lot in the way of 'normal' coins. Here is the closest I can find that is in the spirit of this thread.

A slightly damaged 1982 Washington commemorative half dollar minted by the San Francisco Mint.

Mint mark is clearly visible to the right of Washington.

The only one available at the moment....

 

1881 S Morgan:

 

I went on the PCGS website to see the full sized true view of your coin and I noticed it was graded as MS-62. It totally looks like an MS-63 and I was wondering why it was under-graded, until I remembered which year and mintmark it is, 1881-S .

 

Here are the 79 S Second Reverse and Third Reverse.

 

Trying @dwhiz format...

 

How could I have forgotten these?

I grabbed this a couple years ago for $12 shipped because it has the scarcer combination of Obverse 1 over Reverse 3. It really worked for a living.

 

Large and small "S" mintmark.
