Morgan Silver Dollar Very Fine Condition 1896-O

Progress is something the US has strived towards for the last couple hundred years. The Morgan silver dollar is reminder of how far we have come in terms of progress. While the Morgan was being minted in 1896, the first X-ray photograph was taken, the first female college basketball game was played, and William McKinley was elected president. Also, Utah officially became the 45th state in the United States of America.1896 was the first year, after the silver shortage, to start minting Morgans with higher mintages. From 1893-1895, a clause was repealed, causing the US Mint to only use whatever silver was in the reserves since they couldn't purchase new silver. This clause caused the Morgans to be minted at lower rates and stopping the production early each year. Your 1896-O Morgan is in very fine condition and carries the "O" mint-mark.
