Why does this impressively graded Mint State 1887 Morgan Silver Dollar belong in your collection?The U.S. Mint's Morgan Silver Dollar, designed by George T. Morgan, was introduced in 1878. The coin was issued annually through 1904, then for one concluding year in 1921. Throughout the lifetime of the series, the coin was produced at five different Mint facilities. This example, struck from 0.7734 Troy oz. of .900 fine silver, is a product of the Philadelphia Mint, confirmed by its lack of Mint mark. Final mintage of the 38.1 mm diameter coin is reported to be 20,290,000. Beautiful Depiction of Lady LibertyLady Liberty is portrayed on the obverse, wearing a crown with "LIBERTY" inscribed, and a Phrygian cap, which has symbolized the pursuit of freedom since the civilizations of ancient Rome.

"UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DOLLAR" surround the image of a bald eagle holding three arrows and an olive branch on the reverse. A laurel wreath partially wraps the eagle from below, with "IN GOD WE TRUST" inscribed above.
