Why add the 1887 Morgan Silver Dollar PCGS MS65 to your collection?
This 1887 Morgan Silver Dollar achieved the solidly collectible Mint State 65 (MS65) grade from the industry leaders at Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). The Morgan dollar was struck from 1878-1904 and then again for a final issue in 1921. The coins are struck on 90% silver, 10% copper planchets, each containing .7734 oz. of silver bullion. This issue was struck at the Philadelphia branch of the U.S. Mint.
Perfect Lady Liberty Obverse
The designer of the series was English immigrant George T. Morgan. He designed this iconic series as his first assignment for the U.S. Mint. He later rose to become the Seventh Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint. The obverse features the portrait of Lady Liberty. Interestingly, she wears a small crown and a Phrygian, or "Freedom" cap at the same time. The reverse of the coin features a spread or "displayed" heraldic bald eagle encircled by a laurel wreath. Overhead the motto "In God We Trust" appears.
Stellar MS65
MS65 coins will have full design details, no signs of circulation, above average strikes and above average mint luster. The coin has spectacular eye appeal and will be an excellent addition to your high quality numismatic collection.
