A 1905-S Morgan Dollar

There are no morgans dated 1905. However; the SF mint did coin 310 in FY 1905 to clean up the leftover planchets,though all were dated 1904 as no dies dated 1905 were made in Philly.

Actually the 310 silver dollars were struck in September and December of 1904 NOT 1905. As shown in the the "Annual Report of the Director of the Mint for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 1905" page #19.

Also to CCF! The misleading thing with the Annual reports is the Fiscal Year which ends on June 30, each year. So it's not always easy to nail down an exact date from the reports, though in this case it isn't hard as there is a specific footnote relating to the extra 310 dollars and when they were minted.

You are correct they were cleaning up the left over silver bullion still on hand. On page #29 the 310 silver dollars coined in fiscal year 1905 (Sept. & Dec. 1904) came from Philadelphia also page #128 show Philadelphia coined all 310 silver dollars, so they were not San Francisco dollars as far as I can tell. Nothing states San Francisco as minting any silver dollars during the fiscal year of 1905. Page #76 shows NO silver dollars were struck as well.

Westcoin...if you read my answer it clearly stated FY ( Fiscal Year) 05, as opposed to CY(Calander year) 05.

In doing research for a book, I noted several oddities in the Mint directors reports, which I sourced for a potential series of articles. My notes do clearly say that they were minted in SF. However; I am as human as they come and I'll go back and check. Oth SF clearly minted silver dollars in 1904. So perhaps you meant that they made no silver dollars in fy05?

Did you know for instance that the mint found double eagles that had been hollowed out and filled with platinum? Or that most of San Francisco's and all of Denvers reported mintage prior to about 1950 was just an educated guess? This was because the reports from those branch mints had to be submitted before the end of the fiscal year to the Director of the Mint for his report. I did a pretty detailed study and came up with a more correct number for many of these years and mints. My estimates being correct to plus or minus 10 coins. I attempted, in fact, to publish some of those findings here many years ago, but stopped when someone posted "who cares", literally. For instance, as I recall, there were actually less 16D Mercs produced than reported. There was also a very large descrepency with the 21 Peace dollars that I never resolved, though I really suspect that they were 21 Morgans.

I do appreciate the reply as I answered from memory on research I did 10 years ago.
