1894 Morgan Dollar ($1)

The 1894 Morgan Dollar stands as one of the most important dates in the Philadelphia Mint's production of this iconic series. While not as famous as the 1893-S or 1895 Proof, the 1894 still saw a relatively modest mintage of just 110,000 pieces - making it a significant semi-key date that's often overlooked by more casual enthusiasts.

This VG8 example has been authenticated by NGC and awarded a CAC sticker, confirming its quality within the assigned grade. The coin displays honest wear consistent with extended circulation, yet retains clear date and mint mark visibility. The surfaces show a pleasing medium-gray patina that has developed naturally over time. Despite its well-circulated state, the coin is free from the distracting marks, scratches, or damage that often plague Morgan dollars of this era. The eye appeal is exceptional for the grade, with just the right amount of detail remaining on Liberty's hair and the eagle's feathers.
