Morgan Silver Dollar Fine Condition 1885

Along with the continuous minting of the Morgan silver dollar, there were other monumental events taking place in the US. In 1885, the first Japanese people arrived in Hawaii and president, Chester A. Arthur, dedicated the Washington Monument. The Statue of Liberty arrived in the NYC's harbor and the first sky-scraper was built in Chicago. Also, a billed was signed to form the Niagara Falls State Park and the three year long depression finally ended. Your 1885 Morgan silver dollar was minted in Philadelphia but does not carry a mint mark. The Philadelphia Mint was the first mint to ever be established in the US. Our Founding Fathers desired for the nation to have its own sense of independence and identity, international commerce being a big part of that. The fine Morgans usually consist of very worn images of Lady Liberty and the eagle on the reverse. The entire surface of the coin is also very smooth, due to the heavy wear.
