1896-O Morgan Dollar XF
1896-O Morgan Dollar XF
Struck in 1896 at the historic New Orleans Mint, this silver dollar represents a fascinating era of American coinage. Containing 0.7734 troy ounces of silver with a purity of 0.900, the coin has survived the decades in Extra Fine condition, preserving the crisp details of its original engraving. The obverse features a left-facing profile of Liberty, who wears a Phrygian cap adorned with a hair band displaying her name. Surrounding her portrait are thirteen stars representing the original colonies, the year 1896, and the classic Latin motto, "E Pluribus Unum." On the reverse, a bald eagle is depicted holding both an olive branch and a bundle of arrows, symbolizing a desire for peace alongside a readiness for defense. The reverse design is framed by the inscriptions "United States of America," "One Dollar," and the national motto, "In God We Trust."
