First introduced in 1878, the Morgan Silver Dollar is one of the most beloved and recognizable silver coins in the United States. Named after its designer, George T. Morgan, these coins were produced from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. The 1887 Morgan Dollar Silver Coin is now available for purchase from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
The 1887 Morgan Dollar Silver Coin is offered in Mint State 66 condition, which means it has excellent surface quality with near-full mint luster and only a few minor imperfections visible under magnification.
Obverse
The obverse of the 1887 Morgan Dollar Coin features Lady Liberty, a design by George T. Morgan first introduced in 1878. Liberty is shown in left-profile relief, wearing a Phrygian cap, a coronet crown, and a laurel wreath. The coin also features 13 stars surrounding her, which represent the original U.S. states. The inscriptions read E PLURIBUS UNUM, LIBERTY, and 1887.
Reverse
On the reverse of the 1887 Morgan Dollar Silver Coin, you will see the heraldic eagle, which is one of the most enduring symbols of America. The eagle is shown with its wings outstretched, grasping an olive branch in one talon and arrows in the other. It is encircled by a wreath of oak and laurel, symbolizing peace and strength. The inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, and ONE DOLLAR.
History
Minted primarily at the Philadelphia Mint, the 1887 Morgan Silver Dollar has a total mintage of 20,290,000 coins. Other mints, including the San Francisco and New Orleans mints, also produced the coin, but in smaller numbers.
