1881 Morgan Dollar VG/VF
Struck in 1881 at the Philadelphia Mint, this historic silver coin represents a classic era of American coinage. Because it was produced at the main Philadelphia facility, it features no mint mark, a traditional practice for the series. This dollar contains 0.7734 troy ounces of 90 percent pure silver and belongs to a design family that circulated actively in the United States for about 80 years. The obverse side presents a profile of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap. A band in her hair is inscribed with the word "Liberty," surrounded by thirteen stars, the year 1881, and the Latin motto "E Pluribus Unum." On the reverse, a bald eagle holds arrows and an olive branch in its talons, symbolizing both strength and peace. The eagle is framed by the inscriptions "United States of America," "One Dollar," and the national motto, "In God We Trust."
