The Morgan Silver Dollar was introduced by the United States Mint in 1878. Designed by Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan, this silver dollar succeeded the Seated Liberty Dollar, a silver dollar design used from 1836 to 1873. After a five-year hiatus in silver dollar coining, the US Mint resumed production of silver dollars in 1878 and issued Morgan Dollars annually until 1904, with a final issue in 1921. Right now, 1885-O Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available in perfect condition at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each of the 1885-O Morgan Silver Dollar Coins issued here comes in plastic slabs to protect the Mint State 66 grade. Coins in this condition exhibit about-average quality for the mint luster with no more than three or four minor contact marks. It is possible for the coin to display a few light hairlines under magnification, as well as one or two light scuff marks.
In 1885, the United States Mint issued Morgan Silver Dollars at four branch mints, a hallmark of the early years of this series. The Philadelphia Mint issued the largest number of coins at more than 17.7 million specimens. New Orleans produced the next-largest volume at 9.185 million coins, followed by the San Francisco Mint with 1.497 million coins and the Carson City Mint with 238,000 coins.
The obverse of the 1885-O Morgan Dollar Coin comes with a bust of Lady Liberty. Designed by George T. Morgan, this left-profile relief shows Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap on her head with the laurel wreath and coronet crown also included atop her head. The field is encircled by 13 stars.
On the reverse of 1885-O Morgan Silver Dollars, you will find an image of the heraldic eagle. This design of the heraldic eagle was also created by Morgan and shows a front-facing bald eagle. Shown without the US national shield, this design includes the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace in the eagle’s talons.
