Description
This is the doubled die reverse of the 1901 Morgan Dollar. The reverse design was impressed into the working die in two slightly different positions, so the doubling belongs to the die and repeats identically on every coin it struck. Reverse doubling is overlooked more often than obverse doubling simply because collectors examine the obverse first. Check lettering with serifs, where a true doubled die gives two complete letters while machine doubling gives one letter and a flat smear beside it. The 1901 Morgan Dollar - Doubled Die Reverse is a dollar minted at the Philadelphia Mint, within the Morgan Dollars 1878-1921 series. The obverse features Liberty facing left wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with wheat and cotton, encircled by stars and the reverse displays an eagle with outstretched wings clutching an olive branch and arrows, surrounded by a wreath. The Philadelphia Mint, America's oldest coin-making facility, has struck coins continuously since 1792. Estimated market value ranges from $393 to $15K depending on grade and condition. Struck in 90% silver, 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams, 38.1 mm in diameter, with a reeded edge. Cataloged as PCGS #7302.
