The Morgan Dollar made its debut in 1878, marking the return of the silver dollar after a five-year break. This coin became one of the most enduring designs for US silver dollars. Right now, you can get certified 1896 Morgan Dollar Silver Coins from Provident Metals.
Highlights:
Each 1896 Morgan Dollar Silver Coin here is graded Mint State 63. Coins with this grade have a pleasing eye appeal for their age, with slightly impaired mint luster. You may see several small contact marks, a few heavier marks, and fine hairlines visible without magnification. Each coin comes in a protective plastic slab.
Obverse
The obverse of the 1896 Morgan Dollar Coins features George T. Morgans portrait of Lady Liberty. This left-profile bust draws on classical art, showing Liberty with a coronet crown and a Phrygian cap. Thirteen stars line the bottom half of the field. Inscriptions here read E PLURIBUS UNUM, LIBERTY, and 1896.
Reverse
On the reverse of 1896 Morgan Dollar Silver Coins, the design showcases another of Morgans creations, the heraldic eagle. This version depicts a bald eagle in a front-facing pose, holding the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace, with a wreath encircling most of the bird’s figure. Inscriptions here include UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, IN GOD WE TRUST, and ONE DOLLAR.
