Step back into the intrigue of post-Civil War America with the 1883–1884-O Morgan Silver Dollars & $5 State of Louisiana Baby Bond 3-Piece Set. This unique collection combines two gleaming Morgan Silver Dollars from the New Orleans Mint with an original $5 “Baby Bond” issued by the state of Louisiana. Together, they tell a captivating story of Southern resilience, creativity, and defiance during the Reconstruction Era.

After the Civil War, the federal government imposed heavy restrictions on Southern states, including high taxes on state-issued bank notes. Louisiana lawmakers, determined to rebuild their economy, found a clever workaround: $5 “Baby Bonds” that were essentially paper money disguised as interest-bearing bonds. Featuring the charming vignette of a bonnet-wearing young girl, these notes circulated as legal tender—right under the noses of federal authorities.

The set’s centerpiece is a genuine $5 Louisiana Baby Bond, paired with two Brilliant Uncirculated Morgan Silver Dollars struck in 1883 and 1884 at the historic New Orleans Mint. Designed by George T. Morgan, these coins are celebrated for their classic beauty and were struck in 90% fine silver from the legendary Comstock Lode. Each Morgan features the coveted “O” mint mark, a symbol of the New Orleans Mint’s storied past.

Housed in a premium presentation case with a Certificate of Authenticity, this set offers both numismatic and historical appeal. With the rarity of original Baby Bonds and the enduring popularity of Morgan Dollars, this 3-piece collection is a must-have for collectors who value American history and silver coinage.
