who is on the morgan silver dollar worth

[SanJuliet]

That's a great question about a classic American coin! The person featured on the obverse, or "heads" side, of the Morgan Silver Dollar is Lady Liberty.

The coin gets its name not from the person on it, but from its designer, George T. Morgan. He used a real person as the model for his depiction of Liberty, a Philadelphia schoolteacher named Anna Willess Williams. So, while the image is officially of Lady Liberty, the face is based on a real American woman from that era. The reverse, or "tails" side, features a heraldic eagle with its wings outstretched.

You also asked about its worth, and that's where things get interesting! The value of a Morgan Silver Dollar isn't one single price. It can vary quite a lot based on several key factors, including its year of mintage, the mint mark (which tells you where it was made), and especially its condition or grade. A common, heavily circulated coin might be valued close to its silver content, while a rare date in pristine, uncirculated condition could be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
