1880 Morgan Silver Dollar – Philadelphia Mint (Circulated)

Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, this 1880 Morgan Silver Dollar represents the classic elegance of America’s Gilded Age. Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse features Lady Liberty in bold relief, wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with cotton and wheat — symbols of freedom and prosperity.

The reverse showcases the American eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, surrounded by a laurel wreath. The absence of a mint mark beneath the wreath identifies this coin as a Philadelphia issue.

This particular piece exhibits light to moderate circulation wear with subtle gray and gold toning, giving it a warm, vintage appearance. The details of Liberty’s profile and the eagle’s feathers remain distinct, reflecting careful preservation for its age.
