1887 Morgan Dollar MS-63 NGC
The 1887 Morgan silver dollar stands as a remarkable example of late nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck with a silver purity of 90 percent, this coin contains 0.77344 troy ounces of precious metal. This specific specimen has been certified in Mint State 63 (MS-63) condition, preserving the crisp details of its original strike for modern observers to appreciate. On the obverse side, the profile of Liberty faces left. She wears a Phrygian cap, which features a hair band inscribed with the word LIBERTY. Encircling her portrait are thirteen stars, the year 1887, and the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. The reverse side presents a powerful bald eagle with its wings spread, grasping a bundle of arrows and an olive branch in its talons. Surrounding this central image are the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination ONE DOLLAR. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST is positioned directly above the eagle, completing a design that remains one of the most recognized in numismatic history.
