1889-O Stage Coach Morgan Dollar BU NGC
The 1889 Morgan silver dollar stands as a classic representative of nineteenth-century American coinage. Minted in New Orleans, this coin carries the distinctive "O" mint mark, indicating its origin at the historic Southern branch mint. Struck in 0.900 fine silver, each of these dollars contains 0.7734 troy ounces of precious metal. On the obverse, the coin displays a left-facing profile of Liberty. Her hair is adorned with a Phrygian cap, which is decorated with wheat and cotton balls, symbolizing the agricultural heritage of the nation. The year 1889 is clearly struck at the bottom of the design. The reverse showcases a powerful bald eagle with its wings spread wide. In its talons, the eagle firmly grasps both an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, representing a dual message of peace and military readiness. This particular specimen survives in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, preserving the sharp details of the original strike for modern observers to appreciate.
