In 1890, America was a nation undergoing rapid change. The industrial revolution was in full swing, with steel production reaching new milestones under Andrew Carnegie. Immigration surged as families entered the country through Ellis Island, while labor unrest remained a significant challenge. Overseas, the world’s first electric subway began operating in London, inspiring similar innovations in the U.S.

Each 1890 Morgan Silver Dollar Coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Individual coins are packaged in protective plastic flips, while larger quantities of 20 coins are offered in plastic tubes, depending on availability. That year, the Philadelphia Mint led production with 16.802 million coins, while additional mintages were struck in New Orleans, San Francisco, and Carson City.

The obverse of the 1890 Morgan Silver Dollar displays Lady Liberty in a left-facing portrait. She wears a Phrygian cap symbolizing freedom, adorned with a coronet crown and laurel wreath.

On the reverse of 1890 Morgan Dollar Coins, George T. Morgan’s heraldic eagle stands tall with its wings spread wide. The eagle clutches arrows representing strength and an olive branch symbolizing peace. Morgan’s design stands out for its omission of a national shield, giving this eagle a distinctive look in U.S. coinage.
