One thing we can learn from history is that portraits last longer than other pieces from the past. A portrait that was drawn 300 years ago, is still used today, whether it be in a museum or on a coin. On the Morgan silver dollar, George T. Morgan portrays Lady Liberty, in very a personal way with an up close portrait of her face. Instead of focusing on Liberty as a whole, which many coin engravers have done and are doing, Morgan zooms in on her delicate facial features. By focusing on her face, Morgan makes a point that Lady Liberty isn't just a symbol of freedom but also a person that makes freedom happen. He insinuates that freedom is a tangible thing, achieved by people, not just a concept we hopelessly chase after. Your 1882-O Morgan was minted in New Orleans and is in extra fine condition.
