1902-O $1 Morgan Dollar PCGS MS64

Design and Historical Background:

• Designed by George T. Morgan, the Morgan Dollar series (1878–1921) features Lady Liberty on the obverse, styled as an American woman with a Phrygian cap adorned with agricultural symbols. The reverse shows a bald eagle with outstretched wings holding an olive branch and arrows.
• This particular coin is from the New Orleans Mint, as indicated by the “O” mintmark. The New Orleans Mint produced Morgan Dollars from 1879 to 1904 and again in 1921, making the “O” mintmark popular among Morgan collectors due to the mint’s historical significance.
