The United States Mint introduced the Morgan Silver Dollar Series in 1878. Debuting with George T. Morgan’s fresh portrayals of Liberty and the bald eagle, the series marked the revival of silver dollar minting after a five-year lapse. The Morgan Dollar remained in production annually from 1878 until 1904, and again briefly in 1921 after World War I. Right now, 1888-O Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available in certified condition through JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The obverse of the 1888-O Morgan Silver Dollar depicts George T. Morgan’s vision of Liberty. Liberty is presented in left-profile relief, wearing a Phrygian cap, a crown of laurel, and a coronet engraved with the word “Liberty.” Thirteen stars frame the field, honoring the original American colonies.
On the reverse of the 1888-O Morgan Dollar Coin, you’ll find Morgan’s heraldic eagle design. The bald eagle stands with wings raised and talons gripping arrows and an olive branch — emblems of war readiness and peace. The lower half of the eagle is surrounded by a wreath, while the national motto appears above.
Beyond the famous silver dollar that bears his name, Morgan designed several commemorative medals for national events and contributed to the design of other circulating coinage. His legacy at the Mint is characterized by both artistic excellence and technical innovation, elevating American numismatic art during a critical period when the nation sought to establish its aesthetic identity in currency design.
These 1888-O Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are graded as Mint State 64. Coins in this condition tend to showcase an average mint luster with several small contact marks in groups. One or two heavier marks are possible, as well as one or two small patches of hairlines that are visible.
