Additional Description: The 1898 Silver Morgan Dollar minted in Philadelphia 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. The reverse features the American eagle with outstretched 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 precise strikes and consistent quality. Composed of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, the dollar combines intrinsic value with refined craftsmanship, offering a tangible connection to the artistry and economic confidence of the United States at the close of the nineteenth century.
