Morgan Silver Dollar - Background & Design:
The Morgan dollar is a United States dollar coin minted from 1878 to 1904, in 1921, and beginning again in 2021. It was the first standard silver dollar minted since the passage of the Coinage Act of 1873, which ended the free coining of silver and the production of the previous design, the Seated Liberty dollar.
In 1876, Director of the Mint Henry Linderman began efforts to redesign the nation's silver coins. Linderman contacted C.W. Fremantle, Deputy Master of the Royal Mint in London, requesting him to "find a first class die-sinker who would be willing to take the position of Assistant Engraver at the Mint at Philadelphia." In response to Linderman's request, Fremantle wrote "My inquiries as to an Assistant Engraver lead me very strongly to recommend for the post Mr. George Morgan, age 30, who has made himself a considerable name, but for whom there is not much opening at present in this country." An agreement was reached between Linderman and Morgan for the engraver to work at the Philadelphia Mint under Chief Engraver William Barber on a six-month trial basis. Get your investment now!
Morgan Silver Dollar Grading Scale & Guidelines:
As understood and in relation to condition notes and guidelines, a Morgan Silver Dollar in "About Uncirculated" condition may have the slightest wear on the very highest points of the coin. All details are sharp, and all design elements are well defined. Some traces of mint luster may still exist. There may be several significant bag marks or abrasions on the surface of the coin.
Obverse: Slight wear may be evident on the hair by the neck, the forehead, and ear. The details in the hair are defined with only the high points showing some flatness. The cheek shows a small amount of abrasions.
Reverse: Finer details in the feathers on the wings are well defined. Neck feathers are evident but flat. Breast feathers will have some definition but may be worn smoother. Talons may be visible but flat. Only the very highest spots on the wreath's leaves are flat; the rest of the leaves show some detail.
