1882-O Morgan Silver Dollar – New Orleans Mint (Circulated)
$41.39 USD
The 1882-O Morgan Silver Dollar was struck at the famed New Orleans Mint, a facility known for producing some of the most character-filled silver dollars in U.S. history. Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse features Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with cotton and wheat — emblems of freedom and agricultural prosperity.
The reverse displays the American eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, surrounded by a laurel wreath. The “O” mint mark beneath the wreath identifies it as a New Orleans issue.
This example shows moderate circulation wear, a natural silver-gray tone, and bold, readable legends — a classic collector’s piece with the charm and history only 19th-century silver can offer.
