Only $299.99 per coin
This 1886 Morgan Dollar, graded MS-65+ by NGC, offers a fantastic window into late 19th-century America. It's more than just a coin; it's a solid representation of its era, from a time of rapid change and heated economic debates.Imagine the bustling streets of late 19th-century America – a nation rebuilding, expanding westward, and grappling with big questions about its economy. That's the world this 1886 Morgan Dollar, struck by the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia, lived through. With a mintage of 19,963,000 that year from the Philadelphia facility, these dollars were part of a massive effort to put more silver into circulation, a response to the "Free Silver" movement that captured the nation's attention.
Designed by George T. Morgan, this dollar features Lady Liberty on its obverse, her profile a striking image of freedom adorned with a Phrygian cap, wheat, and cotton – symbols of American agriculture. Encircling her are thirteen stars and the motto "E Pluribus Unum." Flip it over, and the reverse reveals a powerful bald eagle, clutching an olive branch for peace and arrows for strength, with "IN GOD WE TRUST" above. This coin wasn't merely currency; it articulated America's ideals.
Certified in a remarkable MS-65+ grade by NGC, this particular 1886 Morgan Dollar showcases exceptional preservation. It's crafted from .900 fine silver, containing 0.7734 troy ounces of metal, and measures a substantial 38.1 mm in diameter. Many Morgan Dollars from this period ended up sitting in Treasury vaults for decades, only to be released in later years. This means a coin like this, with its vibrant details and luster, offers a direct link to those uncirculated hoards, essentially a preserved relic from the period. For anyone who appreciates American history and seeks a tangible connection to the economic and social landscape of the Gilded Age, this Morgan Dollar is a compelling choice.
