| Designed by George T. Morgan, the “Morgan” dollar is the most sought-after, vintage silver dollar in the world. Extremely popular with collectors, this first-year 1878-dated coin is a “gotta have” for any collection! From silver mined at the historic Comstock Lode in Nevada—the greatest silver discovery in history and the reason the U.S. Mint first struck the Morgan silver dollars—these were the coins that fueled the Old West and paid for everything from a week’s worth of wages to evenings of boisterous amusement. Ripe with Wild West history, now you can relive this fascinating era with the very coins whose silver heft was much more accepted than paper money by the frontiersmen of yesteryear. Most of these coins were used in circulation or melted during WWI for their precious silver content. However, these large 38.1mm, .900 fine silver beauties come to you in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Order today and get the Morgan that started it all! |
