The 1890 Philadelphia Mint Morgan dollar is a common coin in circulated and lower uncirculated grades, only becoming scarce in the Gem levels, where MS65 examples prove quite challenging. Availability suddenly drops off in MS66, where this piece is exceptionally rare. PLs and DMPLs are scarce in all grades though extremely rare in the Gem levels.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
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.
