The Morgan Silver Dollar is one of the most iconic historic US silver coins. While it wasn’t the first or last silver dollar minted in the United States, it stands out for its beautiful design and its journey through major American eras, from Reconstruction and the Gilded Age to the dawn of the 20th century and the Roaring 20s. Right now, 1899-O Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available at BullionMax.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1899-O Morgan Silver Dollar Coin comes in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Single coins are packaged in protective plastic flips, while multiples may arrive in plastic tubes of 20 when available. The New Orleans Mint was the main contributor to the 1899 Morgan Dollar mintage, striking 12.29 million coins. Other mints that year included San Francisco, which issued 2.562 million coins, and Philadelphia, which produced just 330,000 coins.
As the 20th century approached, the United States was undergoing significant changes. Following the Spanish-American War, the nation was managing new territories like the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam. The Philippine-American War had also begun, marking America’s first significant overseas conflict. Back home, the rise of the “trust-busting” movement highlighted concerns over monopolistic business practices, setting the stage for future economic reforms.
The obverse of the 1899-O Morgan Silver Dollar features a profile of Lady Liberty. She is shown wearing a Phrygian cap, symbolizing freedom, with a coronet crown and laurel wreath adding to the design’s elegance.
On the reverse of 1899-O Morgan Dollar Coins, George T. Morgan’s heraldic eagle design takes center stage. This eagle is depicted in front-facing relief, wings spread wide, clutching the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace. Notably, Morgan’s design omits the US national shield, giving this eagle a unique appearance among heraldic designs.
