Own a classic piece of American numismatic history with this 1899-O Morgan Silver Dollar, struck at the historic New Orleans Mint during the closing years of the 19th century.
Designed by George T. Morgan, the Morgan Silver Dollar was first introduced in 1878 and became one of the most recognizable and widely collected coins in United States history. These silver dollars represent an important era of American westward expansion, silver mining, and economic development.
The New Orleans Mint played a significant role in American coinage, producing millions of silver dollars during its years of operation. The distinctive O mint mark identifies this coin as a product of the historic Louisiana facility, which operated from 1838 to 1861 and again from 1879 to 1909.
The obverse features a detailed portrait of Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with agricultural elements, while the reverse displays a majestic eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch.
Struck in 90% silver, the 1899-O Morgan Dollar is a desirable collectible for its classic design, historic New Orleans Mint origin, and connection to the American silver dollar tradition.
