The story of the New Orleans Mint began in 1838, expanding the United States Mint beyond just the Philadelphia Mint. While Charlotte and Dahlonega Mints were established for gold coin production, the New Orleans Mint catered to the coining needs of the American South. It minted both gold and silver coins until the Civil War, after which it reopened in 1879.

The obverse of these 1885-O Morgan Dollars showcases Liberty’s left-profile bust, wearing a Phrygian cap and a coronet crown with a laurel wreath in her hair.

The reverse design, also created by George T. Morgan, features the heraldic eagle in a forward-facing position, with spread wings, arrows of war, and an olive branch of peace.

Graded as Mint State 64, these 1885-O Morgan Silver Dollars display average mint luster with some contact marks and minor hairlines.
