Morgan Silver Dollar Almost Uncirculated 1888-O

Morgan was an assistant engraver for 30 years before he was announced the Chief Engraver for the United States Mint. Having a coin named after you is the upmost honor for an inspiring engraver. Morgan's design accentuates Lady Liberty at a very up close angle. On other coins in circulation, the Lady Liberty is shown from head to toe, her slender body in full view. But Morgan's take was of her beautiful face and at a side angle, he respectively portrays her features as delicate and lovely. Morgan personifies Lady Liberty as a monarch rather than a concept of freedom. Your 1888-O Morgan was minted in New Orleans, also known as the Old Mint and is considered to be in almost uncirculated condition. The New Orleans Mint greatly depended on the success of the Morgan and when the Morgan's production ceased, the Old Mint was close behind. The New Orleans Mint now stands as an official landmark, but it also served as an assay office, the coast guard storage, and a fallout shelter.
