1880-O Morgan Dollar AU
The 1880 Morgan Silver Dollar represents a classic era of American coinage. Minted in New Orleans, this piece carries the 'O' mint mark, indicating its origin from one of the most historic southern minting facilities. The coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of silver, with a purity of 90 percent, and represents a series that circulated actively in the United States for about 80 years. On the obverse, the design presents a uniquely American representation of Lady Liberty. She wears a Phrygian cap decorated with agricultural staples of the era, specifically wheat and cotton. The year 1880 is struck at the bottom, with the word 'LIBERTY' visible on her hairband. The reverse side displays a detailed and proportionally accurate bald eagle with its wings spread wide. In its talons, the eagle holds an olive branch to represent peace, alongside arrows that signify the nation's readiness for defense. The inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA', 'In God We trust', and 'ONE DOLLAR' frame this powerful central image.
