1891 Morgan Silver Dollar (Obverse)

The item is a silver-colored coin, visually identified as a Morgan Silver Dollar. Its circular form is well-preserved, and the material appears to be silver or a silver-alloy, exhibiting a dull, aged patina consistent with an antique metallic object. The obverse prominently features a left-facing profile of Lady Liberty. Her hair is intricately detailed, and she wears a cap adorned with wheat and cotton, symbolizing agricultural prosperity. A prominent tiara or diadem on her head bears the inscription "LIBERTY". Above her head is the motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" curving along the upper rim, with the letters clearly legible. Below Lady Liberty's bust, along the lower rim, the date "1891" is clearly visible, indicating its year of minting. The coin's rim is raised, providing protection for the central design elements. The outer edge has a beaded border, which is typical for this coin series. The overall condition suggests moderate circulation, as some of the finer details, especially in the hair and cap, show slight wear, but are still largely distinct. There are no obvious signs of severe damage such as deep scratches, bends, or significant corrosion, implying it has been handled with reasonable care over its lifespan. The craftsmanship appears to be of the high standard expected for official government coinage of the late 19th century.
