1878-1904 Morgan Silver Dollar BU - w/Vintage Snowflakes Card
The Morgan Silver Dollar stands as a landmark in American numismatics, representing a distinct shift in how national symbols were portrayed. On the obverse, the left-facing portrait of Lady Liberty departs from classical European traditions. Designer George T. Morgan chose Anna Willess Williams to model for the image, making this the very first time an American woman served as the direct inspiration for Lady Liberty on a circulating coin. Her profile is decorated with a cap that weaves together agricultural staples of the nation, specifically cotton and wheat. On the reverse, the design features a bald eagle with its wings spread, grasping a bundle of arrows and an olive branch in its talons. This side of the coin carries the inscriptions "United States of America," "One Dollar," and the national motto "In God We Trust." Minted in 90% fine silver, each of these Brilliant Uncirculated coins contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal, preserving the crisp details of this historic engraving.
