Contains 0.7734 troy ounces of .900 fine silver.
The 1889 Morgan Silver Dollar is an exquisite addition to your collection that is struck in 0.7734 troy ounces of .900 fine silver. The coin does not depict any mint mark, which means the coin is minted in the Philadelphia facility of the US Mint.
The Obverse, designed by George T. Morgan, displays the effigy of Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap with a decorated hair band engraved with “LIBERTY” and surrounded by “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and “1889.” The 13 stars completing the inscriptions pay homage to the 13 colonies that formed a union to give birth to the United States of America.
The reverse side of the 1889 Morgan Silver Dollar bears the coat of arms of the United States of America. This coat of arms design depicts an American bald eagle, the national symbol of America, with outstretched wings as it holds an olive branch and a bundle of arrows in each of its talons. The olive branch and arrows symbolize peace and war. Other inscriptions on the reverse are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” “ONE DOLLAR” and the motto of the US, “In God we trust”. The Philadelphia facility minted coins have no mint mark that usually appears below the eagle.
Minted in the period of 1878-1904, in 1921, and continuing from 2021, the Morgan Dollar adopted the name of the iconic designer George T. Morgan. The effigy of Lady Liberty is modeled by Anna Willess Williams, where the portrayal expresses freedom and strength, along with the eagle on the reverse.
Founded in 1792, the US Mint extends its legacy to over 200 years by minting the currency coins, medals, and collectibles. The US Mint manufactures its products in six of its facilities, Philadelphia, Denver, Fort Knox, San Francisco, West Point, and Washington as its headquarters.
Get hold of the timeless 1889 Morgan Silver Dollar in a brilliant uncirculated condition to diversify your portfolio and add collectible value to your collection.
