Item description:

Designation: 1887-O United States Morgan Silver Dollar Business Strike in Protective Capsule
Mintage Year: 1887
Mint Location: New Orleans Mint ("O" Mint Mark located on the reverse, centered below the eagle's wreath)
Denomination: One Dollar ($1.00 USD)
Composition: 90% Silver, 10% Copper (Contains approximately 0.7734 Troy Ounce of pure silver)
Grade/Condition: Circulated / Very Fine (VF Details)
Design & Mint Identification: This coin showcases George T. Morgan’s masterful 1878 design. The reverse clearly exhibits the distinct "O" branch mint mark of the historic New Orleans facility, which operated in the famous French Quarter.
Condition & Eye Appeal Notes: The coin displays classic, authentic circulated eye appeal with an overall dark, attractive antique patina highlighting the design's recessed fields. Moderate, honest wear is visible across the focal high points, specifically softening the lines in Lady Liberty's hair, her crown cotton blossoms, and the eagle’s breast feathers. Perimeter lettering and denticles remain bold, crisp, and fully legible.
