After writing My PRECIOUS!!!!, it's time to show you another silver coin that i am really proud specially this is my first silver coin that i own and made me want to add in time more and more silver coins to my collection.
So today i present you my Morgan Silver Dollar!
It is my first silver coin and despite the fact that is a circulated coin it is the one that made me fall in love and start collecting. The Morgan silver dollar was first minted from 1878-1904, and again in 1921. It has Lady Liberty on the obverse image and an eagle holding arrows and olive branch on the reverse image, and as a metal composition it is 90% silver and 10% copper.
The Morgan Silver Dollar that i own it's from 1896 and it's named after its designer, George T. Morgan, who designed the obverse and reverse of the coin.
The Morgan Silver Dollar was minted at five different branches of the U.S. Mint (Philadelphia, New Orleans, Carson City, Denver, and San Francisco) and was very unpopular with the public because of its weight and size and criticisms of aspects of its design. It even got the nickname “Cartwheel” because of its size and weight.
Another nickname that the coin got was “Buzzard dollar” because people thought the bird on the reverse side of the coin looked more like a buzzard than an eagle.
The circulated Morgan Dollar Coins like i have weighs 26.73 grams.
As an interesting fact a Philadelphia schoolteacher named Anna Williams was the model for Lady Liberty, the design on the obverse image and the Morgan dollar was replaced after 1921 with the Peace Dollar.
