Along with the continuous minting of the Morgan silver dollar, there were other monumental events taking place in the US. In 1885, the Statue of Liberty arrived in the NYC's harbor and the first sky-scraper was built in Chicago. The first Japanese people arrived in Hawaii and president, Chester A. Arthur, dedicated the Washington Monument. Also, a bill 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 very fine Morgans usually consist of very worn images of Lady Liberty, the cotton leaves and the eagle on the reverse.
