The Genuine Morgan Silver Dollar Watch (Obverse)

This is the timepiece that incorporates the principal obverse of a genuine U.S. Morgan silver dollar into its watch face. Designed by English engraver George T. Morgan, the coin was minted from 1878-1904 and briefly in 1921 and features the goddess Liberty, modeled by Philadelphia school teacher Anna Willis Wilkins, whose profile Morgan described as “The most perfect I have seen in England or America”. Lady Liberty is surrounded by 13 stars representing the original 13 colonies and the motto “E Pluribus Unum”, with the designer’s initial “M” at the base of her hair and the year at the bottom of the coin. Each watch is unique due to variations in each coin’s wear, year, and mint marks. Each coin has a silver content that is 90% of 0.900 fineness and is cut cross-sectionally and surrounded by a water-resistant stainless steel case. Quartz movement with three hands provides reliable timekeeping. Black leather strap fits wrists up to 8 1/2" in circumference. Engraving of up to three letters available for back of the watch. 13/16" diameter x 7/16" D.
