Morgan Silver Dollar Extra Fine Condition 1904

Entering the last year of production for the Morgan silver dollar, the 1904 coin was minted where it all began: Philadelphia. Philadelphia was once the nation's capital, making it appropriate to establish the first mint there. The Founding Fathers desired for the US to have its own national identity and a means to commerce internationally. The Mint Act was passed shortly after the establishment of the Philadelphia Mint, to issue guidelines for the newly minted currency. The Mint Act stated that there should be a decimal system based on a dollar denomination. The coin's metallic fineness and composition should also be stamped onto the coin. And most importantly, every US coin should feature "an impression emblematic of liberty," making sense of why Lady Liberty is used so much on our currency. Your 1904 Morgan is in extra fine condition, with wear to be expected on both Lady Liberty and the eagle.
