This beautiful and well-struck 1885-O Morgan Silver Dollar was minted at the New Orleans Mint, with a total mintage of 9,185,000 coins. Silver dollars were the only coins produced at the New Orleans Mint in 1885, and many were stored away for decades in mint-sealed bags. This coin has a total mass of 26.73 g, a diameter of 1.5 in, and a thickness of 2.4 mm. It's edge is Reeded, and the coins are composed of 90.0% Silver & 10.0% Copper.
Front (Obverse): Profile view of Lady Liberty looking to the left. The words "E Pluribus Unum" that translates to "Out of Many, One" referring to the many states that make the country the United States. The date is located at the center bottom. 13 stars circle the coin adjacent to the lettering. These represent the original 13 colonies.
Back (Reverse): The reverse is a bald eagle clasping arrows and an olive branch in its claws. This represents peace and war, as the United States is capable of both. The eagle's wings are spread out and it too is glancing to the left. The words "In God We Trust", "United States of America", and "One Dollar" are all present on the reverse as well.
The first two images are scans of the coin. The second two I tried to take under soft light. Thanks for your interest. I will ship via priority mail within a day of receipt of payment. Cheers.
