The Morgan Silver Dollar stands as one of the most recognized American coins ever released for everyday use. Crafted by George T. Morgan, this legendary coin made its first appearance in 1878 and remained in annual production through 1904. The 1883 mintage of the Morgan Dollar was notable for its variety, with five different strikes issued—Philadelphia produced both proof and circulation coins, while Carson City, New Orleans, and San Francisco each minted circulation pieces. Now, certified 1883 Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
On the obverse side of 1883 Morgan Dollar Coins, you will find George T. Morgan’s celebrated image of Liberty. This rendition offers a uniquely American take on Liberty, portraying her with a loose, natural hairstyle and a composed expression, moving away from the more rigid, European-influenced designs of earlier U.S. coinage.
The reverse of the 1883 Morgan Silver Dollar displays Morgan’s heraldic eagle. This striking design features a bald eagle facing forward with wings spread upward. A wreath surrounds the eagle from below, while arrows symbolizing military readiness and an olive branch representing peace are clutched in its talons.
Anna Willess Williams, a Philadelphia schoolteacher, was Morgan’s inspiration for the Lady Liberty effigy. Williams sat for five sessions before Morgan achieved the likeness he sought, and she later became known as the “Silver Dollar Girl” though she generally avoided publicity associated with her role.
These 1883 Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available here in Mint State 63 condition. Coins with this designation have slightly impaired mint luster with numerous small contact marks, a few scattered heavier marks, and small hairlines that may be visible without magnification. The Philadelphia Mint produced the largest share of Morgan Dollars in 1883. Philadelphia issued nearly 4 million more coins than New Orleans, two times the volume of the San Francisco Mint, and 10 times the volume of the Carson City Mint.
