Additional Description: The 1897 Silver Morgan Dollar minted in Philadelphia reflects the enduring elegance and craftsmanship of George T. Morgan’s design. Liberty is depicted 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, representing strength balanced with peace.
Without a mintmark, this coin originates from the Philadelphia Mint, the country’s principal facility known for consistent quality and precise strikes.
