1903 Morgan Dollar MS-65 PCGS

---

The 1903 Morgan Dollar represents a classic era of American silver coinage. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this specific coin bears no mint mark, which distinguishes it from those produced at branch mints during the same year. It contains 0.7734 troy ounces of silver, with a purity of 90 percent, representing the standard composition for circulating silver dollars of the period. The obverse features a profile of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap, a traditional symbol of freedom, with the word "Liberty" inscribed upon her hair band. Surrounding her portrait are thirteen stars, the date 1903, and the Latin motto "E Pluribus Unum". This side of the coin captures the intricate artistry that has made the series highly recognizable. On the reverse, a bald eagle is depicted holding both an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing a desire for peace alongside a readiness for defense. The inscriptions "United States of America", "One Dollar", and the motto "In God We Trust" encircle the central design. This specimen has been certified in Mint State 65 (MS-65) condition, indicating a high level of preservation that keeps its design elements sharp and distinct.
