1889 Morgan Dollar VG/VF
The 1889 Morgan Dollar stands as a classic representative of America's late nineteenth-century coinage. Struck in Philadelphia during a year that saw a production of 21,726,000 of these silver coins, each piece carries 0.7734 troy ounces of fine silver with a purity of 0.900. This particular issue is preserved in a circulated condition, falling within the Very Good to Very Fine range. On the obverse, the design showcases a left-facing portrait of Liberty. She wears a traditional Phrygian cap, which features a hair band inscribed with the word LIBERTY. Surrounding her profile are thirteen stars, the year of issue 1889, and the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM. The reverse of the coin presents a bald eagle with its wings spread, clutching both an olive branch and arrows in its talons. This central image is framed by the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the face value ONE DOLLAR. Above the eagle, the national motto IN GOD WE TRUST is written in Gothic script.
