Coin Highlights:
In 1885, the United States Mint issued Morgan Dollars at four branch mints. The Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Carson City Mints all contributed to production, with Philadelphia striking the most at more than 17.78 million coins and Carson City issuing the fewest at 238,000 coins. The New Orleans Mint had the second-highest volume at 9.185 million coins.
All of the 1885-O Morgan Silver Dollars offered here come in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition and arrive individually packaged in protective flips. For larger orders, coins are shipped in tubes of 20, if available. These coins are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, making them not only historically significant but also valuable for their silver content.
The obverse of the 1885-O Morgan Dollar Coin features a left-profile portrait of Lady Liberty, adorned with a Phrygian cap, laurel wreath, and coronet crown. George T. Morgan is believed to have modeled this design after Anna Willes Williams. Surrounding Liberty is a circle of 13 stars representing the original colonies.
On the reverse of the 1885-O Morgan Silver Dollar, Morgan’s heraldic eagle is depicted in front-facing relief with its wings outstretched. Unlike most designs, this eagle lacks a national shield but holds arrows symbolizing war and an olive branch symbolizing peace.
