Sometimes, it is important to remember historical facts that are not in the history books but carry a significance in terms of progress. In 1884, Mark Twain wrote the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and the eight-hour workday was initiated by the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions. The Washington Monument was completed and the cornerstone to the Statue of Liberty was laid two years before the actual statue arrived. It is amazing to hold a coin in your hand, that was minted over 100 years ago, and know what was going on in the US at the same time. History buffs enjoy collecting Morgans for this exact reason and it makes perfect sense. Your 1884 Morgan was minted in Philadelphia, the first mint in the US, and like all coins minted there, your coin doesn't have a mint-mark. Your coin is also in fine condition, exhibiting heavy wear on the surface of the coin.
