Additional Description: The 1896 Silver Morgan Dollar minted in Philadelphia represents a mature example of George T. Morgan’s celebrated design. Liberty is shown in profile, her hair adorned with wheat and cotton, symbols of the nation’s agricultural and industrial strength. On the reverse, the American eagle spreads its wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, embodying both power and the aspiration for peace.
Without a mintmark, this coin originates from the Philadelphia Mint, the nation’s principal facility known for consistent quality and sharp detail. Composed of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, the dollar balances intrinsic value with refined craftsmanship. Each coin serves as a tangible link to the artistry and economic confidence of the United States at the close of the nineteenth century.
