1883 Morgan Dollar AU
Struck in Philadelphia in 1883, this silver dollar represents a classic era of American coinage. The coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of silver, with a total purity of 0.900. Because it bears no mint mark, we know it was produced at the main Philadelphia Mint, which contributed 12,290,000 pieces to the overall mintage of this popular series. The design, created by George T. Morgan, is celebrated for its detailed artistry. The obverse side displays a left-facing portrait of Liberty, who wears a traditional Phrygian cap adorned with a band inscribed with the word "Liberty". On the reverse, a bald eagle is depicted holding both an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, symbolizing a desire for peace alongside a readiness for defense. This specific coin has survived in Almost Uncirculated condition, preserving the fine details of a design that was minted regularly from 1878 to 1921. It remains one of the most recognized and appreciated silver coins in United States history.
