The 1885 release of Morgan Silver Dollars witnessed fluctuating mintages across the four branch mints that issued these iconic coins. Notably, the Philadelphia Mint played a significant role by producing nearly double the volume of the other three mints combined. The New Orleans Mint, situated in the southern region, also contributed significantly to the overall production.

Obverse

Lady Liberty graces the obverse of all 1885 Morgan Silver Dollar Coins. The captivating design by George T. Morgan depicts Liberty in left-profile relief, adorned with a coronet crown and a laurel wreath in her hair. A Phrygian cap is featured at the back of her head, symbolizing freedom.

Reverse

On the reverse of each 1885 Morgan Dollar Coin, you’ll find the emblematic Heraldic eagle of the United States. This remarkable design, also created by Morgan, presents the bald eagle in front-facing relief. The eagle’s talons tightly grip the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace, while its wings spread wide. Notably, the design does not include the US national shield.

History

The United States experienced a significant influx of immigrants during the 1880s. Many people from Europe, particularly from countries like Germany, Ireland, and Italy, sought better economic prospects and opportunities in America. This wave of immigration contributed to the cultural diversity of the nation and influenced various aspects of American society.
