Each 1896 Morgan Silver Dollar Coin offered here is graded Mint State 63. These coins are known for their attractive appearance, despite their age, with slightly impaired mint luster. You might notice numerous small contact marks, a few heavier marks, and fine hairlines visible without magnification. Each coin is presented in a plastic slab.
Obverse
The obverse design of the 1896 Morgan Dollar Coins showcases George T. Morgans depiction of Lady Liberty. This left-profile bust is inspired by classical art, featuring Liberty with a coronet crown and a Phrygian cap. The field includes 13 stars along the lower half of the design.
Reverse
The reverse design features another of Morgans creations, showing his rendition of the heraldic eagle. The bald eagle is depicted in a front-facing pose, holding the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace, with a wreath encircling most of the bird’s figure.
History
In 1896, the US Mint struck nearly 20 million Morgan Silver Dollars. The Philadelphia Mint struck more than half of the eventual total of Morgan Silver Dollars issued, producing 9.976 million coins on its own. New Orleans and San Francisco combined to produce 9.9 million coins between the two locations, with a near even split of production at the latter two branch mints.
