George T. Morgan portrays Lady Liberty, on the Morgan Silver dollar, in such a personal way with a close portrait of her face. Instead of focusing on Liberty as a whole, which many coin engravers have done and are doing, Morgan zooms in on her delicate facial features. By focusing on her face, Morgan makes a point that Lady Liberty isn't just a symbol of freedom but also a person that makes freedom happen. He insinuates that freedom is a tangible thing, achieved by people, not just a concept. She is encompassed by the age old saying, "E Pluribus Unum," which is Latin for "out of many, one." The reverse isn't as monumental but still a beautiful depiction of an eagle with outstretched wings with the "O" mint-mark underneath its talons. Your 1882-O Morgan was minted in New Orleans and is in almost uncirculated condition.
