Description
A classic New Orleans Mint issue, this 1899-O Morgan Silver Dollar represents a fascinating chapter in America's historic silver dollar era. Struck in 90% silver, it contains approximately .7734 troy ounces of pure silver and carries the distinctive "O" mintmark identifying its New Orleans origin.
Designed by George T. Morgan, the coin features Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap on the obverse and a powerful eagle with outstretched wings on the reverse. The Morgan Dollar was first introduced in 1878 and became one of the most recognizable silver coins in American history.
The 1899-O is a popular date and mintmark combination, making it an appealing addition for collectors of Morgan Dollars, New Orleans coinage, or classic U.S. silver.
