1879-O US Morgan Silver Dollar 90%
Step back into a defining moment of American history with this stunning 1879-O Morgan Silver Dollar. Struck at the historic New Orleans Mint, this piece holds incredible historical significance as it marks the very first year the New Orleans facility resumed striking silver dollars after being shuttered for nearly two decades following the onset of the Civil War in 1861. Carrying a relatively low mintage of just over 2.8 million coins, this early Morgan dollar may have traveled through the bustling late-19th-century riverboat trade, wild western saloons, or early American banks before finding its way to safety. Featuring George T. Morgan’s iconic Liberty portrait on the obverse and a proud eagle on the reverse, its frosty details and timeless character make it an absolute must-have anchor piece for any fine collection. Don't let this tangible slice of the American frontier pass you by—add this guaranteed authentic treasure to your portfolio today at Gold & Silver Assay!
