Morgan Silver Dollar

Brief Description

The reverse features a bald eagle with wings spread, clutching an olive branch and arrows, surrounded by a wreath. The text reads 'United States of America', 'In God We Trust', and 'One Dollar'. There is an 'O' mint mark visible below the wreath, indicating it was struck at the New Orleans Mint.

Historical Significance

Designed by George T. Morgan, the Morgan Dollar was the first standard silver dollar minted since the passage of the Coinage Act of 1873. It was authorized by the Bland-Allison Act and symbolizes the American West's silver mining boom of the late 19th century.

Estimated Value

$35 - $60 (depending on the grade and the specific year shown on the obverse; 1888-O is common)

Care Instructions

Do not clean or polish the coin, as this can severely decrease its numismatic value. Handle only by the edges and store in a PVC-free plastic holder or a non-acidic paper flip to prevent environmental damage.
