Morgan Silver Dollars

The Morgan Silver Dollar is a historic coin that stands as one of America’s most iconic precious metal currencies. Minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, the Morgan Dollar was a staple of U.S. commerce in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This coin was named after its designer, George T. Morgan, and features a portrait of Lady Liberty on the obverse with a majestic eagle on the reverse. It is struck from 90% fine silver with a silver weight of 26.73 grams and a diameter of 38.1 mm. It also features a reeded edge to prevent unscrupulous people from shaving silver from the edges. The Morgan Dollar has a substantial feel and is prized by collectors for its historical significance, intricate design and investment potential. Key, low-mintage dates of the Morgan Silver Dollar include the 1895 Morgan, 1889-CC, struck in Carson City, NV., the 1893-S, struck at the San Francisco Mint.

Morgan Dollars are particularly popular in numismatic circles due to their role in American history. From their use during the Old West era to their resurgence in the collectible market today, Morgan Dollars connect collectors to a rich numismatic heritage. In 2021, the U.S. Mint reintroduced the Morgan Dollar to celebrate the 100th anniversary of its final year in production, offering modern collectors an opportunity to own a newly minted version of this classic coin. In 2023 and 2024, Morgan Silver Dollars continued to be minted with unique privy marks and are still sold by the U.S. Mint.
