Historical Significance
The Morgan Silver Dollar series, struck from 1878 to 1921, represents a pivotal era in U.S. monetary history, born from the abundance of silver following the Comstock Lode discovery. The 1897-O is particularly notable for being minted during a time of economic recovery following the Panic of 1893, a testament to the resilience of the U.S. economy. Designed by George T. Morgan, this coin is celebrated for its artistic beauty and historical importance, symbolizing America’s growth and prosperity during the late 19th century.
