1881 Morgan Dollar MS-64 NGC
The 1881 Morgan Dollar stands as a classic example of late nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck in 0.900 fine silver, this sovereign coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal and carries the official backing of the United States government. Graded in Mint State 64 (MS-64), this particular specimen preserves the intricate details of its original design with remarkable clarity. On the obverse, a left-facing portrait of Liberty is adorned with a Phrygian cap, which displays the word 'Liberty' upon her hair band. This side is framed by the traditional motto 'E Pluribus Unum', the 1881 date of issue, and thirteen stars representing the original colonies. The reverse side presents a powerful bald eagle with its wings spread, clutching both an olive branch and arrows in its talons. Surrounding the central image are the inscriptions 'United States of America' and the denomination 'One Dollar', while the national motto 'In God We Trust' is positioned directly above the eagle.
