Morgan silver dollar dated 1891 struck at New Orleans, a United States one dollar coin in 0.900 fine silver carrying the O mintmark.
1891 was the last year the Sherman Silver Purchase Act drove large dollar coinage before the law was repealed in 1893. New Orleans coins of the date are known for softly struck centres, a consequence of worn dies at that branch mint.
The obverse carries Liberty in a Phrygian cap wreathed with cotton and wheat, designed by George T. Morgan, who came to the United States Mint from the Royal Mint in London. The reverse sets an eagle with outstretched wings above a wreath.
