1885 Morgan Silver Dollars From The Big Easy

The New Orleans Mint began striking Morgan Silver Dollars during the second year of the coin’s release in 1879 and continued sticking the coin until 1904. New Orleans didn’t get the chance to strike the Morgan in 1921 during the coin’s final year of issue for one simple reason: the mint had closed in 1909. One of the knocks on ALL Morgans from the New Orleans Mint is their reputation as being consistently the lowest quality coins among all the mints that struck the fabled coins. That means finding a nicely graded Morgan from New Orleans is a real find! Here we have an 1885-O Morgan that comes in gleaming Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition! This piece is a real prize! It’s a magnificent coin in nice condition at a fantastic price! It’s the perfect place to start your Morgan Silver Dollar collection!

COIN HIGHLIGHTS:

  • AMERICA’S MOST POPULAR COIN – The Morgan Silver Dollar—so named for its designer, U.S. Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan—has stood the test of time. Struck from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, it was the coin of America’s “Wild West” and jingled in the coin purses of gamblers, gunfighters, soldiers, and dance hall girls.
  • CLASSIC DESIGNS – Morgan’s historic design depicts a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse while the reverse features an eagle with outstretched wings. The model used for Liberty was Miss Anna Williams of Philadelphia, who Morgan declared to have the most perfect feminine profile he had ever seen.
  • STRUCK IN GLEAMING AMERICAN SILVER – Struck in 26.73 grams of highly pure 90%fine silver from the famous Comstock Lode, the Morgan Silver Dollar is a big coin 38.1 mm in diameter. When this coin was plunked down on a counter, its weight meant real money, pure and simple.
  • LEGAL TENDER SILVER DOLLAR – Morgans were $1 legal tender and struck during the heyday of America’s Wild West era where coins were overwhelmingly preferred over paper currency.
  • BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED CONDITION – Your 1885-O Morgan Silver Dollar will come in gleaming Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition.
  • THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING MORGANS – While millions of Morgan Silver Dollars were struck from 1878 through 1921, massive silver meltings and the ravages of time have taken their toll. Today coin experts believe that only 15% of all Morgans ever struck remain in existence!
