1879-O Stage Coach Silver Dollar BU PCGS
The 1879 Morgan silver dollar stands as a remarkable artifact from the late nineteenth century, minted at the historic New Orleans facility. Struck in 90 percent fine silver, this coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. This particular specimen survives in brilliant uncirculated condition, preserving the sharp details of its original engraving just as it appeared when it first left the coining press. On the obverse, a left-facing profile of Liberty is depicted. She wears a Phrygian cap decorated with wheat and cotton, symbolizing American agricultural abundance. The reverse displays a powerful bald eagle with its wings spread wide, clutching both an olive branch of peace and arrows of strength. Below the eagle, the distinctive 'O' mint mark identifies its origin in New Orleans, making this coin a fascinating piece of Southern minting history.
