Obverse

On the obverse of 1902-O Morgan Silver Dollars we find Lady Liberty in portrait. This neo-classical rendition is considered the finest engraving from George T. Morgan. It features Ms. Liberty in left-profile relief as she dons a crown of wheat and Phrygian cap. The year of mintage also features below the effigy.

Reverse

The reverse of the Morgan Silver Dollar Coin offers an intriguing glimpse of the heraldic American eagle. Also designed by Morgan, this motif shows the bird with open wings as it carries symbolic arrows and an olive branch in its talons. Traditionally, these have represented Americas wars and the peace she strives to attain.

History

The New Orleans Mint initially opened its doors in 1838 to help mitigate a fiscal crisis that included a domestic coin shortage. It operated successfully until 1861, at which point it closed its doors while the country engaged in civil war. Then, following the Bland-Allison Act of 1878, the mint re-opened and enjoyed three decades of production before permanently closing in 1909.
