Description The 2006-S San Francisco Old Mint Commemorative Proof Silver Dollar was struck by the United States Mint to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Old Mint building’s survival of the San Francisco earthquakes and fire of 1906. The Old Mint building was constructed in the 1870′s under the direction of Alfred Bult Mullett, Supervising Architect of the Treasury Department. He believed that the building should be constructed to survive an earthquake, and took steps to ensure that it was. His foresight proved valuable when most of the commercial district of San Francisco was in ruins after the earthquakes of 1906. However, the Old Mint building (nicknamed the "Granite Lady") survived and ending up serving as the depository and treasury for the city’s relief funds. Obverse: Sherl J. Winter designed a medal showing the San Francisco Old Mint building and that design was used again on the obverse (heads side) of this silver dollar. The obverse of the coin features the San Francisco Old Mint. The obverse also has the inscriptions, "Liberty, 1906, 2006, San Francisco Earthquake and Fire Centennial, and E Pluribus Unum.” Reverse: The reverse (tails side) of the coin includes a reproduction of the 1904 Morgan Silver Dollar eagle reverse designed by George T. Morgan. The reverse also has the inscriptions, "United States of America, Five D." and "In God We Trust."

Additional Information OK Ranch offers fine collectible, investment, and gift coins, as well as other gift items, exclusively through our eBay store. Photos: When a listing offers multiples of the same coin, one coin is picked at random and photographed. Since all coins offered in that listing are essentially identical, the coin photographed is representative of all coins offered. Surface areas that appear black on some proof coin photos are actually highly polished, mirror-bright metal reflecting the color of the camera. We place the coin at an angle, in some photos, to better depict the mirror bright finishes. However, angling the coin usually results in one side of the coin being slightly out of focus. Our goal is to provide clear, high definition photos that accurately represent the coin(s) offered in each of our eBay listings. Whenever possible, we use actual photos of our coins, rather than just “artist’s conception” drawings from the Mint. We frequently update and upgrade the photos that appear with our listings, using improved cameras and lenses and better lighting. We will honor your requests for additional photos as quickly as our schedule permits.
