1890-O Morgan Silver Dollar – New Orleans Mint – Circulated Condition


Item Details:

  • Type: U.S. Morgan Silver Dollar
  • Year: 1890
  • Mint Mark: "O" (New Orleans Mint)
  • Composition: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
  • Weight: Approximately 26.73 grams
  • Diameter: 38.1 mm
  • Obverse Design: A stunning profile of Liberty adorned with a Phrygian cap and agricultural motifs, symbolizing unity. The inscriptions “E PLURIBUS UNUM” circle the rim above Liberty, with the date “1890” below.
  • Reverse Design: A majestic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch, framed by a wreath and the words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “ONE DOLLAR,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST.”

Condition:
This coin exhibits circulated condition, with moderate wear evident on both the obverse and reverse. The “O” mint mark on the reverse is distinct. Toning is present, giving the coin a rich, vintage character. While surface marks are visible, they are consistent with age and circulation, retaining the coin’s charm.


Historical Context:
The Morgan Silver Dollar series, designed by George T. Morgan, is one of the most iconic U.S. coin designs. Minted from 1878 to 1904, and again in 1921, this series reflects the prosperity and expansion of the United States during the late 19th century. The New Orleans Mint, known for its storied history, produced 10,701,100 Morgan Dollars in 1890, making it a significant year for collectors.


Special Notes:
Morgan Silver Dollars are a staple for numismatists, and the 1890-O is no exception. With its historical significance and classic design, this piece is an excellent addition to any collection or a great way to own a tangible piece of American history.
