1883 Morgan Dollar VG/VF
Struck in the year 1883, this silver dollar represents a classic era of American coinage. Produced at the Philadelphia mint, the coin bears no mint mark, which distinguishes it from those struck at branch facilities. It belongs to the famous Morgan Dollar series, which was minted from 1878 to 1921. This specific issue had a mintage of 12,290,000 pieces and is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.7734 troy ounces of the precious metal. The coin's design was created by George T. Morgan. On the obverse, a left-facing portrait of Liberty is shown wearing a Phrygian cap, with the word LIBERTY inscribed upon her hair band. The reverse features a bald eagle clutching an olive branch in one talon and a bundle of arrows in the other, surrounded by the words ONE DOLLAR and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST. This specimen survives in a combined Very Good to Very Fine condition, showing the honest wear of a coin that likely saw active circulation in late nineteenth-century commerce.
