Why order this 1891-O Silver Morgan Dollar?
This Silver 1891-O Morgan Dollar gives you the opportunity to own one of America's classic coins. Like many other issues from the New Orleans Mint, this one was poorly produced, which makes this Mint State (MS) 63 piece stand out. Struck from .900 fine silver, the coin has an actual silver weight of .7734 troy oz. and bears an "O" Mint mark on the reverse. It was part of a mintage of 7,954,529 pieces.
Groundbreaking Liberty Design by George T. Morgan
George T. Morgan, who lends his name to this coin, designed both of its faces. On the obverse is his left-side portrait of Liberty. This series is significant because that portrait represented the first time that Liberty was depicted as an American figure rather than a Greek one. She is shown with long, curly hair that is partially covered by a Phrygian cap. Also on her head are a ribbon that bears an inscription of her name and a crown made from two important American crops, cotton and wheat.
On the reverse is an eagle, which has long been a national symbol. It holds arrows and an olive branch in its talons. Between its upstretched wings is the national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST."
Uncirculated MS63
This coin received a grade of Mint State 63 from the experts at the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. That means that it has a slightly weak to average strike and some moderate abrasions or hairlines.
