1894-O Morgan Dollar VF
Struck in the historic New Orleans Mint, this 1894 Morgan silver dollar represents a fascinating moment in late nineteenth-century American coinage. The coin is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.7734 troy ounces of the precious metal. With a total mintage of 1,723,000 pieces, this specific issue carries the 'O' mint mark, signaling its origin from the Southern branch mint. The obverse design presents a left-facing profile of Liberty. She wears a Phrygian cap, a traditional symbol of freedom, with the word 'Liberty' clearly inscribed upon her hair band. Encircling her portrait are thirteen stars, representing the original colonies, alongside the Latin motto 'E Pluribus Unum' and the 1894 date of issue. On the reverse, a bald eagle spreads its wings while clutching an olive branch of peace and a bundle of arrows representing military readiness. The national motto 'In God We Trust' is positioned above the eagle, while the legends 'United States of America' and the 'One Dollar' denomination frame the central design.
