Additional Description: The 1899 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 portrays Liberty in profile, her hair crowned with wheat and cotton to symbolize the nation’s agricultural and industrial foundations. The reverse features the American eagle with wings outstretched, clutching arrows and an olive branch, a lasting emblem of strength tempered by peace.
The O mintmark beneath the wreath identifies its New Orleans origin, a mint that supplied much of the Southern United States during this period. Composed of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, the coin combines intrinsic value with refined craftsmanship, offering a tangible link to both the artistry and economic life of the United States at the close of the nineteenth century.
