Morgan Silver Dollars were released by the United States Mint in 1878, ending a five-year hiatus in silver dollar production that started with the cancellation of the Seated Liberty Dollar in 1873. In 1887, Morgan Silver Dollars were produced by the Philadelphia Mint, New Orleans Mint, and San Francisco Mint. Right now, 1887 Morgan Silver Dollar Coins in certified condition are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1887 Morgan Silver Dollar Coin offered here comes in Mint State 65+ condition. The plus indicates these coins are among the best MS65 specimens, with an attractive, high-quality mint luster and a few small, scattered contact marks. With a total mintage 33,611,000 Morgan Dollars in 1887, the Philadelphia Mint’s production of 20,290,000 coins represents nearly 61% of the total production volume.
George T. Morgan designed both images used on the Morgan Silver Dollar, with his Liberty design standing the test of time as a groundbreaking change. Morgan’s Liberty design represented a significant artistic evolution in American coinage. He created a more naturalistic and distinctly American version of Liberty compared to previous interpretations, incorporating subtle details like the carefully rendered hair and the precisely positioned Phrygian cap that symbolized freedom.
Lady Liberty is found on the obverse of 1887 Morgan Dollar Coins. This left-profile relief features Liberty with a Phrygian cap, as well as a laurel wreath and a coronet crown. The field includes 13 stars in honor of the original American Colonies.
The heraldic eagle is present on the reverse of 1887 Morgan Silver Dollars. This design by Morgan features a bald eagle in front-facing relief with its wings spread and its talons clutching the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace.
