1888-O Morgan Dollar AU
The 1888-O Morgan silver dollar represents a fascinating moment in late nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, this piece carries the distinctive "O" mint mark on its reverse, positioned just above the denomination. Containing 0.7734 troy ounces of pure silver, the coin survives today in Almost Uncirculated condition, preserving its original design details with remarkable clarity. On the obverse side, a left-facing portrait of Liberty is adorned with a Phrygian cap, which features a band inscribed with the word "LIBERTY". The reverse displays a majestic bald eagle with outstretched wings. In its talons, the eagle grasps both an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, symbolizing a dual message of peace and preparedness. The classic inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "IN GOD WE TRUST", and "ONE DOLLAR" frame this iconic national symbol.
