United States Morgan Silver Dollar (Reverse Side)

This is a United States Morgan Silver Dollar, specifically showing the reverse (tails) side of the coin. The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, with a weight of 26.73 grams and a diameter of 38.1 millimeters. The design features a bald eagle with outstretched wings clutching arrows and an olive branch, symbolizing strength and peace. Above the eagle's head is the motto 'In God we trust' in Old English script. The eagle is encircled by a laurel wreath. The inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'ONE DOLLAR' run along the outer rim. This particular specimen is housed in a white cardboard and mylar coin flip held together by staples. The coin shows signs of moderate circulation, with visible wear on the high points of the eagle's breast feathers and wing tips. There is a dark patina/toning developing in the recessed areas around the lettering and wreath. A small dark inclusion or spot of heavy oxidation is visible near the bottom right of the wreath. The absence of a mint mark above the 'D' and 'O' of 'DOLLAR' indicates it was likely minted in Philadelphia. The Morgan dollar series was produced between 1878 and 1904, and again in 1921, representing a classic era of American numismatic history and craftsmanship.
