What does S$1 mean on a PCGS label?

I have it on only one coin, a 2005-P MS70 coin. Info below:

COIN INFORMATION
Cert Verification #: 13993925
Date, mintmark: 2005-P
Denomination: S$1
Variety: Marshall
Pedigree:
Country: The United States of America
Grade: MS70

Denomination of $1. S for silver.
So, it is a Silver Dollar....which is what that actually has as a value.

Hm. I have about 50 other silver dollars that do not have the designation. Here are two examples:

COIN INFORMATION
Cert Verification #: 13993927
Date, mintmark: 2006-S
Denomination: $1
Variety: San Francisco Old Mint
Pedigree:
Country: The United States of America
Grade: MS70

COIN INFORMATION
Cert Verification #: 03961152
Date, mintmark: 2007-P
Denomination: $1
Variety: Jamestown
Pedigree:
Country: The United States of America
Grade: MS70

Neither of those have the S$1. Does PCGS make up weather the coin gets an S$1 or a $1? Is there really a difference?

i think they only use S$1 in cases where the composition could be clad or silver (see Ike series).....for commems that are understood to be silver its understood

They also used it for those years when the mint was producing both gold dollars and silver dollars (1849-1889).
