The 1891 Morgan dollar is tougher than many other Philadelphia-mint dates but is by no means categorically rare, as they are readily available in the marketplace. That is the case, anyway, for pieces grading up through MS64. Above that, this coin becomes exceptionally rare with relatively few survivors in MS65 and but a minuscule number in MS66 or better. To be sure, Gems are even tougher with the PL or DMPL designation, for they are essentially esoteric in MS65.
Obverse Description
Portrait of Liberty centered. On the left are found 7 stars with the words E*PLURIBUS*UNUM followed by 6 stars on the right. The date is positioned at the bottom.
Reverse Description
The heraldic eagle is centered holding a bunch of arrows and branch surrounded by and olive leaves. The words UNITED STATES OF AMERICA * ONE DOLLAR frame the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears above the letters DO of DOLLAR.
