1887-O Morgan Silver Dollar – New Orleans Mint
This 1887-O Morgan Silver Dollar, struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, is a timeless collectible representing the artistry of 19th-century American coinage.
The obverse displays Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap crowned with wheat and cotton, while the reverse features a majestic bald eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch — a symbol of both peace and strength.
The coin shows even, honest circulation wear with clear date and legends, retaining strong detail across Liberty’s portrait and the eagle’s wings. A solid example of one of the more sought-after branch-mint Morgans.
