Morgan Silver Dollar G-VG 1888

The Philadelphia Mint is one of two last-standing Mints that produced to Morgan silver dollar from 1878-1904 and is the first ever US mint facility. The Founding Fathers strongly desired for the US to establish a national identity and set-up a means to international commerce. The US needed to put itself on the map and establishing a currency was the way to do it. Some interesting events that happened in 1888, while the Morgan was in production, were: Susan B. Anthony organized the "Congress for Women's Rights" in Washington D.C. Benjamin Harrison was elected president after Cleveland, and the National Geographic was founded. The Washington Monument also opened for the public in this year. Your 1888 Morgan has been minted in Philadelphia and carries no mint mark. Your Morgan is considered to be good-very good condition, with heavy wear but with a readable date.
