United States Morgan Silver Dollar (Reverse Aspect)

This is a United States Morgan Silver Dollar, specifically showing the reverse (tails) side of the coin. Struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, these coins have a diameter of 38.1 mm and a standard weight of 26.73 grams. The design features a majestic bald eagle with outstretched wings, clutching an olive branch and arrows, encircled by a laurel wreath. Above the eagle's head is the motto 'In God We Trust' in Gothic script, and the legend 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA' and 'ONE DOLLAR' circumscribe the rim. This particular specimen exhibits a significant amount of surface wear, indicating an 'About Good' to 'Good' grade. The high points of the eagle's breast and wing feathers are largely flattened, and the original mint luster has been replaced by a dull, greyish patina consistent with circulation. There are numerous small contact marks and scratches visible across the field and on the devices. The absence of a visible mint mark below the wreath suggests it was likely minted in Philadelphia, though some wear might obscure a small mark. Morgan Dollars were minted between 1878 and 1904, and again in 1921, representing a classic era of American numismatic history and craftsmanship.
