Additional Description: The 1882 to 1887 Silver Morgan Dollars represent a stretch of steady production during the heart of the Gilded Age, a time marked by rapid economic expansion, technological progress, and growing tensions over the nation’s silver policy. Struck in .900 fine silver at several mints—including Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Carson City—these coins bear George T. Morgan’s enduring design of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap, surrounded by cotton and wheat, with a boldly rendered eagle on the reverse.
