Charming engraved Victorian pin reads: “Hattie.” This brooch was made from an 1883 Morgan Silver dollar. The reverse of the brooch still bears it’s original Lady Liberty Head, E Pluribus, a boarder of stars and the year 1883. There is a very small letter M on Lady Liberty’s neck indicating that this was in fact, a Morgan Silver dollar. The style of pin back, with the pointed end extending past the edge of the coin denotes that the coin was converted to jewelry sometime shortly after it was crafted. Certainly before the tuen of the century.
