1884-O Morgan Dollar MS-64 NGC
The 1884 Morgan silver dollar stands as a remarkable artifact from a transformative period in American numismatic history. Struck at the New Orleans Mint, this coin bears the distinctive 'O' mint mark, signifying its origin in the American South. This particular issue emerged during the economic downturn known as the Depression of 1882 to 1885, yet production remained robust due to the Bland-Allison Act of 1878, which legally required the government to purchase and coin massive quantities of silver. Designed by George T. Morgan, the coin features a classic profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse, while the reverse showcases a powerful American eagle with its wings fully spread. Each coin is composed of 90 percent fine silver, containing 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. With a diameter of 38.1 millimeters, a thickness of 3.1 millimeters, and a total weight of 26.73 grams, the physical presence of this dollar is substantial. This specimen has been certified in Mint State 64 (MS-64) condition, preserving the intricate details of Morgan's iconic 19th-century design.
