A common coin in all respects, the 1889 Morgan dollar is readily available in the marketplace up through the grade of MS65 and scarce above that, with a rare few in the MS67-68 range. PLs and DMPLs are much scarcer, with none known above MS66, but they can be had for a price.

Reverse Description
The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
