1896 Morgan Silver Dollar US Mint Coin Rare Title
1896 Morgan Silver Dollar US Mint Philadelphia Uncirculated Coin Rare
This 1896 Morgan Silver Dollar is a remarkable example of George T. Morgan’s classic design, minted at the main United States Mint in Philadelphia. The obverse features the iconic profile of Lady Liberty surrounded by stars and the 1896 date, while the reverse showcases the bald eagle with wings outspread, clutching an olive branch and arrows. This silver coin displays strong details in Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers, suggesting an uncirculated condition with a pleasing natural patina and original luster. As a vintage silver piece from the late 19th century, it represents a significant era in American numismatic history and is a highly sought-after addition for collectors looking to acquire a piece of United States heritage.

Condition: The coin appears to be in circulated condition with visible wear on the high points of Liberty's hair and the eagle's breast feathers.

As a Morgan Dollar, it is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. This series was designed by George T. Morgan and serves as a significant historical artifact of late 19th-century American commerce. This is a business strike coinage with no specific professional grade assigned.
