Product Details
This beautifully preserved 1902 Morgan Dollar, MS-65 PCGS, showcases George T. Morgan's iconic Lady Liberty and the American eagle. It's a tangible artifact from a key era in American monetary policy.
Imagine America at the dawn of the 20th century, a time of significant economic debate and industrial growth. The 1902 Morgan Dollar comes directly from this era, a tangible result of the "silver question" that saw various legislative acts, like the Bland-Allison Act, mandate the U.S. Mint to produce silver dollars. This particular issue, struck at the Philadelphia Mint in 1902 without a mint mark, boasted a substantial mintage of 7,994,000 coins, many of which remained in Treasury vaults for decades before finding their way into circulation and collections.
The artistry of this coin is remarkable, a creation by English-born U.S. Mint assistant engraver George T. Morgan. The obverse presents a captivating profile of Lady Liberty, often hailed as a classic representation of American ideals. Modeled by Philadelphia schoolteacher Anna Willess Williams, Liberty dons a Phrygian cap, a traditional emblem of freedom, adorned with agricultural staples like wheat and cotton. Thirteen stars encircle her image, symbolizing the original colonies, along with the nation's unifying motto, "E PLURIBUS UNUM."
Flipping the coin reveals the powerful American bald eagle on the reverse, wings spread wide, clutching both arrows, signifying national defense, and an olive branch, a classic symbol of peace. Encircling this majestic bird are the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DOLLAR," along with "IN GOD WE TRUST." This 1902 Morgan Dollar contains 0.7734 troy ounces of silver, with a purity of .900 fine, giving it a substantial feel. With a diameter of 38.1 mm and its denomination of one dollar, this coin offered significant purchasing power then and now arrives in a stunning MS-65 grade, certified by PCGS, ensuring its exceptional quality and preservation.
