Overview

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 & preservation

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.
