The Morgan Silver Dollar was first struck from 1878-1904 and once again in 1921. The original dollars passed through American hands during the end of the nation’s westward expansion, the start of the industrial revolution, and its ultimate rise to power on the world stage. Morgan Silver Dollars are some of the most collected coins in the world and are valued for their historic symbolism and beauty.
The legacy continues with the Morgan Silver Dollar Proof Coin that showcases the exquisite craftsmanship that the United States mint has to offer. Proof coins are hand treated, polished, and struck at least twice, giving them a frosted foreground and stunning mirror-like background
The Morgan Dollar was designed by Mint Chief Engraver George T. Morgan (1845- 1925) and minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. This iconic silver dollar represented the country’s westward expansion and industrial development in the late 19th century. Created through the use of modern technology and historical Mint assets, the new Morgan Dollar has a beautiful proof finish.
The obverse (heads side) features Liberty in profile. A cap, flora, and crown incused with the word “LIBERTY” adorn her head, while 13 stars, “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and the year of issuance encircle her.
The reverse (tails) depicts an eagle with outstretched wings clasping arrows and an olive branch, accompanied by a wreath. Reverse inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”
Each coin is packaged in an elegant black box, with a beautiful outer sleeve adorned with an image of the coin obverse and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. This proof finish Morgan Dollar—rendered in lustrous 99.9% silver—is sure to be a collector favorite for years to come.
