Overview

The obverse features a profile portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap with wheat and cotton in her hair. The reverse (not pictured) typically shows a bald eagle with wings outspread.

Historical significance

Designed by George T. Morgan, this coin was minted as a result of the Bland-Allison Act. The 'O' written on the holder indicates it was struck at the New Orleans Mint, which played a crucial role in post-Civil War silver coinage.

Estimated value

$40.00 - $85.00 (Based on the 'MS63' grade written on the holder, though professional grading by NGC or PCGS would be required for a definitive valuation).

Care & preservation

Keep the coin in its protective 2x2 cardboard flip to prevent physical damage. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin, as this can severely decrease its numismatic value by stripping away the original mint luster.
