1889 Morgan Silver Dollar, 90% Silver
A sharp 1889 Morgan dollar with a lot going for it — strong details on Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers, and a nice rainbow toning starting to develop around the rim on both sides. The kind of coin that photographs well because it actually is well. Details: - Date: 1889 - Mint mark: none visible on reverse (Philadelphia, no mint mark) - Denomination: One Dollar - Series: Morgan Dollar - Composition: 90% silver, 10% copper Lightly circulated with some minor contact marks on the obverse field, but overall a clean, attractive example with good luster still present. The rainbow rim toning is a natural bonus collectors tend to appreciate. The Morgan dollar's design — Liberty on the obverse, a heraldic eagle on the reverse — was created by U.S. Mint engraver George T. Morgan, who used a Philadelphia schoolteacher named Anna Willess Williams as his model for Lady Liberty. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
