Morgan Dollar

Brief Description

The obverse features a profile portrait of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap with 'LIBERTY' on the headband, surrounded by 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' and thirteen stars. The reverse (not shown) depicts a bald eagle with wings outstretched.

Historical Significance

Named after its designer, George T. Morgan, this coin was minted following the passage of the Bland-Allison Act. It represents a significant era of Western expansion and the political struggle over the silver standard in late 19th-century America.

Estimated Value

$30.00 - $60.00 (Standard circulated condition; highly dependent on specific year, mint mark, and grade)

Care Instructions

Handle only by the edges to avoid transferring skin oils to the surface. Do not clean or polish the coin, as this can severely decrease its numismatic value. Store in a PVC-free plastic holder or archival-quality flip in a cool, dry place.
