1889 Morgan Silver Dollar United States Coin
1889 Morgan Silver Dollar United States Coin
This 1889 Morgan Silver Dollar is a classic piece of American coinage history, featuring George T. Morgan’s iconic Liberty head design on the obverse and a majestic bald eagle with outstretched wings on the reverse. Struck in silver, this coin displays a natural aged patina with visible details in Lady Liberty’s hair and the feathers of the eagle. This specific example was minted in Philadelphia, as evidenced by the absence of a mint mark above the "DO" in "DOLLAR." It remains a highly sought-after circulation strike for collectors of vintage United States currency, representing the industrial era of the late 19th century.
1889 Philadelphia Morgan Silver Dollar United States Coin
Condition: The coin appears to be in circulated condition with noticeable wear on the high points of Liberty's hair, the cotton bolls, and the eagle's breast feathers. There is significant toning and dark patina across both the obverse and reverse surfaces, with some surface marks and contact scratches consistent with age. The mint mark is absent, indicating it was struck at the Philadelphia Mint. This business strike coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The Morgan Dollar was designed by George T. Morgan and minted from 1878 to 1904, and again in 1921, symbolizing a period of westward expansion and industrial growth in the United States. No professional grading is provided.
