While Panama was declaring independence from Colombia or the first transatlantic radio broadcast between the US and England was made or the first modern World Series was played in Pittsburgh, the silver dollar was fighting political battles to be minted. George T. Morgan was an assistant engraver for 30 years before he was announced the Chief Engraver for the United States Mint. As the assistant engraver, Morgan designed the Morgan silver dollars. But since the silver dollars contain 90% silver, the government wanted to make sure it was being properly regulated. Throughout the Morgan Silver dollar's life, there were numerous attempts to authorize then unauthorize the minting of the silver dollar. Your 1903 Morgan does not have a mint-mark since it was minted in Philadelphia and is considered to be in almost uncirculated condition. AU means your coin will have some bag marks or surface abrasions but the original mint luster should be somewhat intact.
