The Morgan Silver Dollar is often regarded as one of the most iconic historic silver dollars in U.S. history. Although it was not the first nor the last silver dollar issued and circulated in the country, the Morgan Dollar quickly became a beloved symbol of the nation’s history. The coin spans multiple pivotal periods in American history, from the Reconstruction era to the Gilded Age, and up through the Roaring 20s. Today, 1890 Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
America in 1890 was a nation of transformation. Rapid industrialization continued transforming the nation, with steel production reaching new heights under Andrew Carnegie. Labor unrest remained significant, while immigrants arrived in record numbers through Ellis Island. The first electric subway system began operation in London, inspiring similar projects in American cities.
Each 1890 Morgan Silver Dollar Coin is offered in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Individual coins are carefully packaged in protective plastic flips, while multiples are available in plastic tubes of 20, depending on availability. The 1890 mintage of Morgan Dollars was dominated by the Philadelphia Mint with 16.802 million coins. Additional production occurred at New Orleans (10.7 million), San Francisco (8.23 million), and Carson City (2.309 million).
The obverse design of the 1890 Morgan Dollar Coin features a left-profile portrait of Lady Liberty. She is depicted wearing a Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom, along with a coronet crown and laurel wreath.
On the reverse of the 1890 Morgan Silver Dollar, the heraldic eagle stands proudly. George T. Morgan’s design showcases the eagle with wings spread wide, clutching both the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace in its talons. Notably, Morgan’s rendition omits a national shield, making this design distinct among U.S. coinage.
