E Pluribus Unum roughly translates to "Out of many, one"
The U.S motto is E pluribus unum
The U.S motto is E pluribus unum
Please take a look at your pocket change. Every single U.S. coin has the motto E Pluribus Unum on it so that doesn't help to ID anything. Post a new question with the coin's denomination, and if you can locate the mint mark, that as well. On coins from 1881 it will be a small O, S, or CC on the reverse side. However the Philadelphia Mint didn't use a letter back then, so your coin may not have a mint mark at all.
8-17-11>>> Assuming the coin is circulated, the 1900-O Morgan (not e pluribus unum) is a common New Orleans Mint coin. Most coins have seen heavy use and show a lot of wear. Retail values are $37.00-$41.00. Values are only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelry or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer.
Most of the coins of this date fall into the grades of extremely fine(EF-40) to about uncirculated(AU-50) with retail values between $860.00-$900.00, Uncirculated coins have values of $960.00-$2,040.00 in the grades of MS-60 Thu MS-63 NOTE: Please do not use the phrase E PLURIBUS UNUM to identify ANY US coin, the date,denomination and mint marks are whats needed
You need to provide more information. As you can tell from looking at your pocket change, ALL U.S. coins carry the motto E Pluribus Unum (three words, not one) so that's not a distinguishing characteristic. You need to let us know the coin's denomination as well. Before the mid to late 20th century, mint marks were on the reverse (back) side of coins. However, Philadelphia did not use the P mint mark at the time so it's also possible your coin does not carry any mark.
Please see the Related Question because the coin isn't a silver eagle. "Silver eagles" are modern bullion coins containing 1 oz of silver and sold by the Mint to collectors and investors. What you have is a $1 coin called a Morgan dollar minted for use in ordinary commerce. At the time the price of silver was controlled and the coin was in fact worth exactly one dollar. Also, All Morgan and Peace dollars carry the motto E Pluribus Unum as do most other U.S. coins so that's not a distinguishing piece of information.

Man cannot understand everything because there limitation to the human spirit
"E pluribus unum" means "One out of many".On a side note:Ladies and gentlemen, please keep such discussion in the "Discussion" tab of questions. This is inappropriate for the actual answer, and indeed you have removed all information pertinent to the question in your search for the correct instances to use "ex" rather than "e". I have retained the text below because I find it interesting linguistically, and I cannot move it to the Discussion area without it all being under my username.All right! How do you explain the forms:ex cathedraex consensuex nihilo, nihil fitex professoex voto donatumeven, de ex de, from which the Spanish preposition "desde" stems.I have never seen those expressions with "e"[URLs have been moved to the "Related Links" section.]Do you mean why they use "ex" when there's a consonant in front? "e" before a vowel, and "ex" before a consonant is more of a guideline than a hard and fast rule. Even in classical Latin, you'll see "ex" in front of consonants. But you'll never see "e" before a vowel. I should've been clearer, and I'm sorry about that.As far as I know, except for "ex nihilo...," those are from Ecclesiastical Latin, and it's possible that "e" fell out of use. But that's just a guess, I don't know ("non ex professo" :-))
"mother". You usually use this when you address your own mother and not refer to your own mother in front of other people.
Mother, and we also use it for Grandmother.
