The Morgan Silver Dollar is perhaps the most popular historic US silver dollar. The Morgan Dollar was not the first, nor the last, silver dollar produced and circulated in the United States. However, it was one of the most beloved designs and crossed several eras of American history from Reconstruction and the Gilded Age to the dawn of the 20th century and the Roaring 20s. Right now, 1899-O Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1899-O Morgan Silver Dollar Coin available here comes in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Individual coins arrive in protective plastic flips, while multiples will ship in plastic tubes of 20 when available. The 1899 release of Morgan Dollars was dominated by the New Orleans Mint and its 12.29 million coins. San Francisco issued 2.562 million coins, while Philadelphia struck a scant 330,000 coins.
As the 20th-century approached, the nation was emerging as a power on the international stage. The Spanish-American War’s aftermath dominated national attention, as the U.S. grappled with its new colonial possessions in the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam. The Philippine-American War began, marking America’s first major overseas conflict. Domestically, the “trust-busting” movement gained momentum as public concern grew over monopolistic business practices.
The obverse of the 1899-O Morgan Dollar Coin comes with a portrait of Lady Liberty. This left-profile relief depicts Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap on her head, with a coronet crown and laurel wreath also set atop her head.
On the reverse of 1899-O Morgan Silver Dollars is an image of the heraldic eagle. Morgan’s design for the heraldic eagle was unique in its lack of a US national shield. Here, the bald eagle is in front-facing relief with spread wings as its talons clutch the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace.
