The 1896 Morgan Silver Dollar from the Philadelphia Mint is one of the most common dates in the series, but when it comes to high-quality graded specimens, this date is scarcer. This Mint State 67 specimen boasts a strike quality that is above average for the issue and offers full, sharp detail on several design elements and crisp definition around the edge of the design fields. Right now, the 1896 Morgan Silver Dollar Coin in MS67 condition is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1896 Morgan Silver Dollar is in Mint State 67 condition, indicating a coin with above-average luster and three or four minuscule contact marks, one or two of which may be in the primary focal fields. This particular specimen boasts sharp definition on Liberty’s coronet and the stars on the reverse, as well as clean visuals for the feathers of the eagle. The coin has a frosted visual appearance with mirrored devices. There is a narrow band of toning in the lower right field with hints of amber that give way to teal and violet toning around the edge of the fields.
The 1896 Morgan Dollar issue included coins struck by the Philadelphia, New Orleans, and San Francisco Mints. The Philadelphia Mint issued more coins in 1896 than New Orleans and San Francisco combined, with the 1896 issue boasting the third-highest mintage of the decade behind only the 1890 and 1899 issues.
For the obverse of 1896 Morgan Dollar Coins, the mint features George T. Morgan’s bust of Lady Liberty. This portrait depicts Liberty in left-profile relief with a Phrygian cap on her head. The design includes a coronet crown and laurel wreath on her head as well, along with a ring of 13 stars.
In the reverse design of 1896 Morgan Silver Dollars, you’ll find another design from George T. Morgan. This design element is the heraldic eagle and shows a front-facing eagle clutching the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace.
