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

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    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).
