1893 Morgan Dollar VG
The 1893 Morgan Silver Dollar represents a fascinating moment in late nineteenth-century American coinage. Struck at the main United States Mint facility in Philadelphia, this particular issue carries no mint mark, a traditional feature of Philadelphia coinage from this era. Each of these historic silver pieces contains 0.7734 troy ounces of silver, minted with a purity of 90 percent. The obverse design presents a left-facing portrait of Liberty. She wears a classic Phrygian cap, a traditional symbol of freedom, secured by a hair band that displays the word LIBERTY. On the reverse, the design showcases a bald eagle with its wings spread wide. In its talons, the eagle firmly grasps an olive branch, representing peace, alongside a bundle of arrows, symbolizing readiness and strength. Surrounding the eagle are the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the face value of ONE DOLLAR, along with the national motto, In God We trust.
