These coins display a diminished mint luster, exhibiting numerous small contact marks as well as occasional scattered heavy marks. Additionally, minor hairlines and detracting scuff marks can be observed, affecting their overall desirability.

Obverse

On the obverse side of the 1888 Morgan Silver Dollars, you’ll find the elegant portrayal of Lady Liberty by George T. Morgan. Her left-profile relief showcases a Phrygian cap, coronet crown, and a laurel wreath gracing her head, while the field is adorned with 13 stars.

Reverse

Turn to the reverse side of the 1888 Morgan Dollar Coin to witness Morgan’s interpretation of the heraldic eagle. This version excludes the US national shield, but presents a powerful bald eagle with outstretched wings, clutching the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace in its talons.

History

Also in 1888, the United States passed the Interstate Commerce Act, which aimed to regulate the railroad industry. This act established the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), the first federal regulatory agency, to oversee and regulate railroad rates and practices. The ICC was designed to prevent unfair business practices and discrimination in the railroad industry.
