Due to the Mint Act, it became mandatory for all US coinage to display "an impression emblematic of liberty." The fabulous Lady Liberty design, that graces all of the US currency, is because of this law. George T. Morgan was an assistant engraver for 30 years before he was announced the Chief Engraver for the United States Mint. Morgan's design accentuates Lady Liberty at a very up close angle. Morgan's take was of her beautiful face and at a side angle, he respectively portrays her features as delicate and lovely. An eagle is on the reverse of the Morgan, with outstretched wings and unique tail feathers. Your 1888-O Morgan was minted in New Orleans, also known as the Old Mint, and is considered to be in very fine condition. Some aspects of very fine condition are the extreme wear on the main images, such as Lady Liberty and the eagle on the reverse. The original mint luster is also entirely gone from the surface.
