1880-O Morgan Dollar MS-61 NGC
Struck in 1880, this historic Morgan dollar represents a fascinating era of American silver coinage. Minted at the southern facility in New Orleans, the coin displays the distinctive 'O' mint mark on its reverse side, positioned just above the denomination. This specific piece has been certified in Mint State 61 (MS-61) condition, preserving its original details for modern observers to appreciate. The obverse features a left-facing portrait of Liberty, adorned with a Phrygian cap that bears the word 'Liberty' upon her hair band. Encircling this central image are thirteen stars, the year 1880, and the traditional motto 'E Pluribus Unum.' Composed of 90 percent silver, the coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. On the reverse, a bald eagle is depicted clutching an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing both peace and readiness. The reverse inscriptions clearly display 'United States of America' and 'One Dollar,' alongside the national motto 'In God We Trust.' This combination of patriotic imagery and historic minting makes the coin a compelling subject for study.
