Made from 90% silver and 10% copper, these coins are valued for both their historical significance and their precious metal content.
Obverse
On the obverse side of the 1885 Morgan Dollar, you will see Lady Liberty in a left-facing profile. The model for this image is believed to be Anna Willes Williams. Lady Liberty is shown wearing a Phrygian cap, laurel wreath, and coronet, surrounded by 13 stars representing the original colonies.
Reverse
The reverse of the 1885 Morgan Silver Dollar features the image of a heraldic eagle. Morgans design showcases the eagle without the traditional national shield. Instead, the eagle is depicted with its wings spread, holding both arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing both conflict and peace.
History
The 1885 Morgan Dollar stands out with one of the highest mintages in the series. Coins were produced at various U.S. Mint facilities, including Philadelphia, New Orleans, Carson City, and San Francisco. The Philadelphia Mint struck the most, with over 17.78 million coins produced, nearly double the next largest mintage.
