1893-O Morgan Dollar AU-50 PCGS
The 1893 Morgan silver dollar stands as a fascinating artifact from a nineteenth-century American mint. Struck in New Orleans, this coin carries the distinctive "O" mint mark on its reverse side, positioned just beneath the wreath. With a total mintage of only 300,000 pieces, this issue is a compelling subject for study, especially when preserved in an About Uncirculated AU-50 state. On the obverse, the design showcases Liberty adorned with a Phrygian cap, her hair band clearly displaying the word "LIBERTY". This side is framed by thirteen stars, the year of issue 1893, and the Latin motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM". Each coin contains 0.7734 troy ounces of silver, minted with a purity of 90 percent. The reverse side presents a powerful bald eagle clutching both arrows and an olive branch. Surrounding the central image are the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DOLLAR", alongside the national motto "IN GOD WE TRUST". This combination of detailed artistry and historical minting makes the 1893-O a captivating piece of numismatic history.
