Question regarding 1891 Morgan Dollar-S with not readable mint mark

Please help a layman :bow:

I have a circulated 1891 Morgan Dollar witch is not much worth. I use it as a card guard.
Someone saw it and told me that the mint mark has a minting error.
I always thought that it is not readable because of the bad condition.

Has anyone an idea what it relay is?

1891 S had a number of filled S varieties. (VAMworld - 1891-S Reverses)
If you can, post pics of the obverse and reverse.

 

Thanks a lot raider34.

I attached a few more pics.

 

It looks filled to me! How did this happen??

 

My father had this Dollar since 1940 and it looked always like this, how should I know? That`s why I posted it.

 

The filled S happens at the mint, it's pretty common for the 1891 S (looks like for this year the mint marks weren't to sharp to begin with). Also, it looks like your coin was polished at one point, which tends to mush out the details (including the mint mark).

 

aah :bow:

So it`s not much worth and I can go on using it as a card guard without being afraid?

 

Thanks for the info!!

 

Yep, it's only really worth it's silver value; so around $15.

 

Thanks raider34, you were a great help!
