Every year the Morgan was minted, many important events occurred outside of the currency realm that left an impact on today. In 1882, the Old West outlaw, Jesse James, was assassinated by Robert Ford. Also in 1882, the 1882 Immigration Act was passed and the first US labor day parade also took place. It's also not surprising Thomas Edison starts the world's first commercial power plant in NYC this year as well. Your 1882 Morgan is in very fine condition, with noticeable wear on the whole surface of the coin. Your coin was also minted at the very first mint facility in the US: the Philadelphia Mint. Philadelphia was the nation's capital at the time so it only made sense the first mint was built there. The Founding Fathers initiated the mint's commissioning since the country was in desperate need of a means to international commerce.
