Why purchase this Mint State Morgan Silver Dollar struck in 1887?
The U.S. Morgan Dollar, minted from 1878 until 1904 and then for one last year in 1921, is the creation of seventh U.S. Mint Chief Engraver George T. Morgan. This 1887 Morgan Silver Dollar lacks a Mint mark, confirming its origin at the Philadelphia Mint.

Gorgeous Depiction of Lady Liberty
Liberty is portrayed on the obverse facing left, wearing a crown with "LIBERTY" inscribed, and a Phrygian cap, which is symbolic of freedom. Liberty's likeness is framed by thirteen stars to represent the original thirteen colonies, "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and "1887."
"UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DOLLAR" surround the image of an eagle holding an olive branch and three arrows on the reverse. A wreath partially wraps the eagle from below; "IN GOD WE TRUST" inscribed above.
