Morgan Silver Dollar Extra Fine Condition 1883

Looking at a Morgan silver dollar, a coin that is over 100 years old, it's hard to imagine what life was like that long ago. Morgans allow us to ponder where we came from and how we got here. It's surprising that these coins are so old yet stay so intact after all these years. Some other events that happened in 1883 were the opening of the Brooklyn Bridge, in NYC, after 13 years of construction. Since this job was so large, there was a rumor a few days later about the bridge possibly collapsing and sending people into a frenzy. Twelve people died due to this rumor. The University of Texas Austin opens its doors to students and 5 continental time zones were established to settle the confusion on the railroads. Also happening this time in Texas, the world's first rodeo was held. Learning the history, during the time of the Morgan, is a great conversation starter and encouragement for someone who is thinking of collecting. Your 1883 Morgan is in extra fine condition, with minimal original luster.
