Obverse
The obverse of Morgan Silver Dollar Coin shows Lady Liberty in a portrait. This effigy was designed by George T. Morgan while serving as Assistant Engraver at the U.S. Mint. It depicts Ms. Liberty looking left and wearing a Phrygian cap and crown of wheat. Obverse inscriptions read 1882, E PLURIBUS UNUM (Out of Many, One).
Reverse
On the reverse of 1882 Morgan Silver Dollars, there is a bald eagle design. More naturalistic than other renditions, this motif is also credited to Mr. Morgan. The eagle flies with open wings and looks left while holding an olive branch and arrows in its talons. You will see reverse inscriptions also that read UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ONE DOLLAR, IN GOD WE TRUST.
History
The United States Mint first opened its doors in 1792. A bureau of the Department of the Treasury, the mint is responsible for striking Americas circulating coinage as well as numerous bullion and commemorative releases. Today, the mint has branches located in West Point, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Denver. All except West Point participated in the production of the classic Morgan Silver Dollar. This coin was also struck at the closed locations in Carson City and New Orleans.
