Obverse
On the obverse of this Morgan Silver Dollar Coin, youll see Lady Liberty in portrait. Shown from the neck-up, Liberty looks left while wearing a crown of wheat and a Phrygian cap. This portrait was designed by George T Morgan and modeled after Philadelphia schoolteacher Anna Williams. The obverse also includes inscriptions reading 1882, E PLURIBUS UNUM.
Reverse
The reverse of 1882-S Morgan Silver Dollars contains a bald eagle motif. Also produced by Morgan, this rendering shows the bird in a realistic way as it flies forth with open wings. The reverse includes two decorative laurels surrounding the eagle, plus inscriptions reading UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ONE DOLLAR, IN GOD WE TRUST.
History
Once the Bland-Allison Act of 1878 was enacted, the U.S. Mint quickly began producing Silver Dollars for circulation. Prior to that, production had ceased following the 1873 Coinage Act. Seeking to improve the reputation of American coinage, U.S. Mint director Henry Linderman had George T. Morgan create new designs for the nations Silver Dollar. After the initial strike in Philadelphia, the dies of the Morgan Silver Dollar were shipped to San Francisco in April 1878.
