Morgan Silver Dollar Extra Fine Condition 1879-O

Although coins always get the credit and attention from collectors, coin engravers are just as important as the coin they design. George T. Morgan was the English engraver for the United States mint, who is responsible for designing the Morgan Silver dollar. Morgan's design depicts Lady Liberty in a different way that is unusual for her portrait. 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. The beloved sayings, "In God We Trust," and "E Pluribus Unum," are also included on the Morgan Silver dollars. Your 1879-O Morgan was minted in New Orleans, carries the "O" mint-mark on the reverse side of the coin. Your Morgan is in extra fine condition, with surface wear to be expected.
