1881-O Morgan Dollar XF
The 1881-O Morgan Silver Dollar represents a fascinating moment in late nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, this coin carries the distinctive "O" mint mark positioned on the reverse side just above the denomination. This particular issue is composed of 90 percent silver, which equates to 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. Out of a total mintage of 5,708,000 pieces, this specimen survives in Extra Fine condition. Designed by George T. Morgan, the coin features a left-facing profile of Liberty on the obverse, adorned with a Phrygian cap. The word "LIBERTY" is visible on her hair band. The reverse displays a bald eagle with its wings spread, clutching an olive branch and a cluster of arrows in its talons, symbolizing peace and readiness. This iconic series was produced from 1878 to 1921, making this 1881 issue a classic representation of the era's coinage.
