The Morgan Silver Dollar is one of the most cherished American coins, even more than a century and a half after its first release. Struck by the United States Mint between 1878 and 1904, and again in 1921, this coins iconic Lady Liberty design and its historical importance have earned it a lasting place in the hearts of collectors. Provident Metals now has 1896 Morgan Dollar Silver Coins available for purchase.
Highlights:
All 1896 Morgan Dollar Silver Coins available here are in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. The coins are shipped inside protective plastic flips, and orders of 20 or more coins are packaged in tubes for added protection.
Obverse
George T. Morgans design of Lady Liberty appears on the obverse of the 1896 Morgan Dollar Coin. This left-profile portrait of Liberty features her wearing a Phrygian cap, symbolizing freedom, along with a laurel wreath and a coronet crown, representing victory and honor. Inscriptions include E PLURIBUS UNUM, LIBERTY, and 1896.
Reverse
The reverse of the 1896 Morgan Dollar Silver Coin includes Morgans heraldic eagle design. Unlike most eagles on U.S. coinage, this one does not carry a shield. Instead, it holds arrows representing defense and an olive branch for peace. The inscriptions include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, and ONE DOLLAR.
History
In 1896, the Philadelphia Mint struck more Morgan Dollars than any other U.S. Mint facility that year. The 9,976,000 coins produced in Philadelphia outpaced the San Francisco Mints 5 million coins and the New Orleans Mints 4.9 million, making it the leader in production that year.
