Each 1894 Morgan Silver Dollar listed here carries an About Uncirculated 58 grade, the top of the AU scale. These coins show medium to near-full luster with only light friction on the highest design points. Every coin ships in a protective plastic slab to help preserve its condition.

Output for the 1894 Morgan Dollar was shaped by the 1893 repeal of the Sherman Silver Purchase Act, which had previously helped supply silver for Morgan Dollar production. As a result, Philadelphia struck just 110,000 coins, while New Orleans and San Francisco continued with larger runs of about 1.7 million and 1.2 million coins, respectively.

The obverse of the 1894 Morgan Dollar presents George T. Morgan’s left-facing portrait of Liberty. She wears a Phrygian cap with a laurel wreath and a coronet, and the field includes 13 stars representing the original colonies.

The reverse of the 1894 Morgan Silver Dollar features Morgan’s heraldic eagle. This streamlined version shows a bald eagle without the national shield, holding arrows of war and an olive branch of peace, with inscriptions surrounding the design.
