1890-O Morgan Silver Dollar – New Orleans Mint – Circulated VG Example
Offered is an authentic 1890 Morgan Silver Dollar struck at the New Orleans Mint, identified by the visible “O” mint mark on the reverse above the word DOLLAR. This is a classic U.S. silver dollar type with Liberty’s portrait on the obverse and the heraldic eagle with wreath on the reverse.
This coin is a circulated Very Good example with clear, even wear from circulation. Liberty’s head and profile remain fully outlined, with the main hair mass and cap visible though flattened at the highest points. The date 1890 is strong and complete, and the stars and lettering around the rim are readable and bold for the grade. The rim is intact and circles the coin well, with no major rim dents or bends apparent in the photos.
On the reverse, the eagle is fully outlined with the wings, body, and wreath clearly defined, though with smoothing on the central high points as expected in VG condition. The wreath and bow are present and recognizable, and the legends UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR are complete and easy to read. The In God We Trust motto is visible above the eagle. Overall details remain strong enough to make this a solid, honest VG coin without heavy distraction.
Surfaces show normal circulation marks and light field abrasions consistent with age and use. The coin has a natural silver-gray appearance with darker toning near the edges, giving it a classic, original look for a circulated Morgan. No major scratches, holes, or damage are visible in the provided images.
