Product Description

The Morgan dollar is one of the most storied coins in American history. Minted from 1878 to 1904 and once again in 1921, this substantial silver dollar is cherished by coin collectors and enthusiasts of American history alike. The special edition set offered here includes Morgan dollars produced at 4 different mints, including Philadelphia (no mintmark), Denver (D mintmark), New Orleans (O mintmark), and San Francisco (S mintmark).

Named after the designer, U.S. Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan, this coin was produced from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. The obverse of the coin depicts Liberty as a youthful woman wearing a Phrygian cap, originally worn by emancipated slaves of ancient Rome, together with a headdress of cotton and wheat— staples of the U.S. economy. The reverse features an American bald eagle with outstretched wings, symbolic of the power of the U.S. government. The eagle bears in its great talons both an olive branch and 3 arrows, representing a nation of peace but one that is poised for war. The dollar was authorized by the passage of the Bland-Allison Act in 1878, which required the Treasury to purchase an enormous 2 to 4 million dollars’ worth of silver each month to be coined into dollars. Later, in 1918, passage of the Pittman Act ultimately led to the melting of over 270 million Morgan dollars held in treasury reserves. Today, the few that remain are cherished specimens of a bygone era that serve to immortalize the memory of a young, prosperous, and powerful United States of America.

These coins were hand-selected by professional numismatists after screening thousands of coins for quality and eye-appeal. Each coin is housed in an airtight capsule and the set is presented in a luxurious, plush-lined wood box with embossed metallic gold lettering, piano-black finish, and certificate of authenticity. The coins are unconditionally guaranteed to be genuine, dated between 1878 and 1921, and will match the exceptional mint-state quality of the ones shown.
