Obverse

The obverse of the 1888 Morgan Silver Dollars showcases a captivating portrait of Lady Liberty, a design crafted by George T. Morgan in 1878. Liberty is elegantly portrayed in left-profile relief, adorned with a Phrygian cap, coronet crown, and a laurel wreath.

Reverse

On the reverse side of the 1888-O Morgan Dollars is a striking depiction of the heraldic eagle, also designed by Morgan. This visual presents the eagle in front-facing relief, clutching the arrows of war in one talon and the olive branch of peace in the other.

History

The 1880s was a period of major change for the nation. On February 4, 1887, the Interstate Commerce Act was passed, but it became effective in 1888. The act marked the first significant attempt by the federal government to regulate railroad rates and ensure fair practices in the transportation industry.
