The Morgan Silver Dollar, first introduced more than 150 years ago, continues to hold a special place in American history. Minted by the United States from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, this iconic coin is cherished for its stunning Liberty design and its importance in US coinage history. Right now, 1889 Morgan Dollar Silver Coins are available for purchase online from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
These 1889 Morgan Dollar Silver Coins are available in Brilliant Uncirculated condition and are individually housed in protective plastic flips. Orders of 20 or more coins may come in tubes.
Obverse
The obverse of the 1889 Morgan Dollar Coin features George T. Morgans celebrated design of Lady Liberty. She is depicted in left-profile relief, wearing a Phrygian cap, laurel wreath, and a coronet crown, symbolizing liberty and honor.
Reverse
On the reverse, the 1889 Morgan Dollar Silver Coin displays Morgans interpretation of the heraldic eagle. This bald eagle, shown without a national shield, holds arrows and an olive branch, signifying both the nations readiness for defense and its yearning for peace.
History
Were it not for the 1921 revival of silver dollar production in the United States and the one-time reissue of Morgan Dollars that year, the 1889 Morgan Dollar would have set the record for the highest mintage in one year at a single mint. The Philadelphia Mint produced 21,726,000 Morgan Dollars in 1889. This record stood until 1921 when the Philadelphia Mint struck 44,690,000 coins during the renewal of silver dollar coining.
