Brief Description

The reverse (shown) features a bald eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows, surrounded by a laurel wreath. The obverse features a profile portrait of Lady Liberty.

Historical Significance

Named after its designer, George T. Morgan, this coin was authorized by the Bland-Allison Act. It represents the end of the free silver movement and the expansion of the American West.

Estimated Value

$30 - $60 (Circulated Common Date); premium dates can reach thousands. Mint marks (e.g., CC, S, O) significantly impact value.

Care Instructions

Do not clean or polish the coin, as this damages the surface and reduces numismatic value. Store in an acid-free holder to prevent toning or tarnish.
