1887-O Morgan Dollar AU
Struck in the late nineteenth century, this 1887 Morgan Dollar represents a classic era of American silver coinage. Minted at the historic New Orleans facility, as indicated by its distinctive 'O' mint mark, this piece survived the decades in Almost Uncirculated condition, preserving its intricate design details for modern observers to appreciate. The obverse presents a profile of Liberty adorned with a Phrygian cap. Her hair band displays the word 'Liberty', while the outer border features the Latin motto 'E Pluribus Unum', thirteen stars representing the original colonies, and the 1887 year of issue. On the reverse, a bald eagle is depicted grasping arrows and an olive branch, symbols of strength and peace. The eagle is encircled by the inscriptions 'United States of America', the denomination 'One Dollar', and the national motto 'In God We Trust'. Composed of 0.900 fine silver, this coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal and belongs to a historic series that circulated in commerce for roughly 80 years.
