1898-O Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS64 Brown Label

Why add the Mint State 64 1898-O Morgan Silver Dollar to your collection?

The Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) graded this 1898-O Morgan Silver Dollar at the high collector grade of Mint State 64. This remarkable coin was struck at the world famous New Orleans Mint on a .7734 oz. 90% silver planchet. The New Orleans Mint was brought back from a shutdown period after the Civil War, in part because of the Bland-Allison Act which required the U.S. Government to strike what would become as the Morgan Silver Dollar. The Nation simply did not have the capacity to strike the silver dollars without the fabled New Orleans Mint.

Beautiful timeless morgan design

The obverse of the coin features the profile of Lady Liberty with her curly locks supporting a small crown with the inscription "Liberty." She also wears a Phrygian Cap, the familiar symbol of Freedom used on older designs particularly on American, Mexican and French coinage. The reverse of the coin features a bald eagle with his wings spread. The eagle holds arrows and an olive branch according to custom and is encircled with a laurel wreath. Engraver George T. Morgan provided these images as one of his first assignments for the U.S. Mint.

What is Mint State 64, anyway?

Mint State 64 graded coins are lustrous examples with eye appeal and few distractions or marks. The marks tend to be in non-focal areas of the design.
