Sporting the "O" mint-mark, this Morgan silver dollar was minted in the New Orleans sector of the US Mint. To this day, the New Orleans Mint stands as one of the oldest historic landmarks in the US. This Morgan's very fine condition reveals Lady Liberty with worn features, such as her eye, cheeks, and hairline. On the reverse, the eagle's feathers are also worn and not as sharp as they once were. The infamous cotton leaves are also worn down and the original mint luster is gone. The Morgan Silver dollar's production became quite a difficult task between the constant passing of bills to regulate the mining of silver. From 1878-1904, the Morgan dollar was the circulating dollar of US currency but because of the freelance mining of silver, the government wanted to have more regulations on the precious metal.
