Additional Description: The 1900 Silver Morgan Dollar from the New Orleans Mint exemplifies the artistry and historical significance of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-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 wings outstretched, clutching arrows and an olive branch, representing both strength and peace.

The O mintmark beneath the wreath identifies its New Orleans origin, a mint that played a central role in supplying the Southern United States during this era. Composed of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper, the coin combines intrinsic value with careful craftsmanship, offering a tangible connection to the artistry and economic life of the United States at the dawn of the twentieth century.
