About the Item
Antique 1891 O Morgan dollar.

Made in USA, 1891
Mint: New Orleans

The Morgan Dollar is one of the most famous coins in American history. It evokes images of the Wild West. Cowboys stepping into a hostile bar and flipping the barkeep a silver dollar for a bottle of Whiskey. If these Morgan Dollars could speak what a story they could tell!
However, the designer of one of the most iconic coins in US history was in fact British! George T Morgan was born close to Birmingham in 1845 and would go on to become a contract engraver for The Royal Mint until he was contacted by the US Mint and appointed a special engraver in Philadelphia.
He would work his way through the ranks until eventually being appointed Chief Engraver in 1917, but many still agree that his greatest achievement was the Silver Morgan Dollar.
The obverse text on the Morgan Dollar reads “Liberty; E Pluribus Unum; 1891.” The reverse text on the Liberty dollar reads “United States of America; In God, We Trust; One Dollar; O .” The obverse of the silver one-dollar coin has a bust of a female facing the left wearing a cap and small crown, with flowers tucked in her hair and stars surrounding the border. The reverse of the Morgan Dollar has an eagle in the center with its wings spread and a wreath surrounding it.
