Silver coin 'Morgan Dollar' dated 1891, United States Mint

The Morgan Dollar was minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, named after its designer George T. Morgan. This particular 1891 example represents the late period of the original production run, struck during an era of silver abundance following the Comstock Lode discoveries. The coin features Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, embodying American ideals of freedom and strength during the Gilded Age. Morgan Dollars are highly prized by numismatists and coin collectors worldwide for their historical significance, artistic beauty, and silver content. These coins appeal to both serious numismatists who appreciate their place in American monetary history and precious metal investors who value their 90% silver composition. The 1891 date is moderately common but still sought after, making it an accessible entry point for collectors while maintaining investment appeal.
