Morgan Dollar (Reverse Side)

The item is a silver coin, depicting the reverse side of what appears to be a Morgan Dollar. The central motif is a large, heraldic eagle with outstretched wings, clutching an olive branch in its right talon and arrows in its left, symbolizing peace and preparedness. Above the eagle's head, within a sunburst or glory, is the motto "In God We Trust." A wreath of laurel or olive branches encircles the lower half of the eagle. The inscription "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" is prominently displayed along the top rim, while "ONE DOLLAR" is curved along the bottom rim. Each word in the lower inscription is separated by a five-pointed star. The rim of the coin features a series of fine, distinct denticles or beads, indicating a reeded edge. The coin exhibits a uniform, dull silver-gray patina, suggesting some age and natural toning consistent with an uncleaned or lightly circulated state. There are visible signs of wear consistent with a circulated coin, such as flattened details on the eagle's feathers and the lettering, typical for coinage of this era. No obvious deep scratches, gashes, or significant damage like bending or major dents are immediately apparent from the image, but surface abrasions or minor nicks might be present upon closer inspection. The overall impression is that of a genuine coinage, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century, given the design characteristics of the Morgan Dollar.
