Description

1886 Morgan Silver Dollar

U.S. Mint Specifications:

  • Mint Mark: O (New Orleans)
  • Designer: George T. Morgan
  • Material: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
  • Diameter: 38.1 mm
  • Weight: 26.73 grams
  • Condition: Extra Fine (XF), Collector's Grade

Description: This 1886-O Morgan Silver Dollar was minted at the New Orleans Mint, a facility known for its smaller production volumes compared to Philadelphia and San Francisco. The obverse features the iconic profile of Lady Liberty adorned with a Phrygian cap and a wreath, symbolizing freedom and unity. The reverse showcases a detailed eagle with outstretched wings clutching an olive branch and arrows, surrounded by the inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and the denomination "ONE DOLLAR."

Historical Significance: The 1886-O Morgan Dollar represents a critical chapter in American history, capturing the spirit of an expanding nation in the late 19th century. Morgan dollars from the New Orleans Mint are especially desirable due to their often lower mintages and historical connection to Southern U.S. coinage production during the post-Civil War Reconstruction period.

Condition Note: This coin displays moderate circulation wear consistent with its XF (Extra Fine) grade. Key details, such as Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s feathers, remain discernible, adding to its appeal among collectors.

This Morgan Silver Dollar is a tangible piece of American history and a must-have for any numismatic enthusiast.
