Additional Description: The 1899 Silver Morgan Dollar from the Philadelphia Mint represents a refined example of late nineteenth-century American coinage. George T. Morgan’s design depicts Liberty in profile, her hair adorned with wheat and cotton to symbolize the nation’s agricultural and industrial foundations. On the reverse, the American eagle spreads its wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, embodying both strength and peace.
Without a mintmark, this coin originates from the Philadelphia Mint, the nation’s principal facility known for consistent quality and precise strikes. Composed of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, the dollar balances intrinsic value with aesthetic refinement, offering a tangible connection to the artistry and economic vitality of the United States at the turn of the century.
