1881-O Morgan Dollar MS-63 PCGS
Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, this 1881 Morgan Dollar represents a fascinating era in American numismatics. The coin was produced following the passage of the Bland-Allison Act of 1878, a pivotal piece of legislation tied directly to the politically charged Free Silver movement of the late nineteenth century. Composed of 90 percent silver and containing 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal, this piece measures 38.1 millimeters in diameter and has a thickness of 3.1 millimeters. The obverse features a profile of Lady Liberty designed by George T. Morgan. She wears a Phrygian cap decorated with a wreath of native agricultural elements. On the reverse, an eagle with spread wings holds an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing both peace and readiness. This specific specimen has been certified in Mint State 63 (MS-63) condition, preserving the crisp details of its original design and its historical inscriptions, which include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR.
