Additional Description: The 1893 Silver Morgan Dollar from the New Orleans Mint reflects the artistry and historical context of late nineteenth-century American coinage. George T. Morgan’s design depicts Liberty in profile, her youthful visage crowned with wheat and cotton, while the reverse eagle spreads its wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch to convey strength and peace.
The O mintmark beneath the wreath identifies its origin at the New Orleans Mint, a facility that circulated coins widely throughout the South. Composed of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, the dollar combines practical value with refined design.
The 1893 New Orleans issue is valued for its historical resonance and well-executed strike. Well-preserved examples reveal crisp detail and pleasing luster, offering a tangible connection to the economic and cultural life of the United States during a period of national growth.
