Introduction
The $1 Morgan Silver Dollar is one of the most recognizable and widely collected coins in American numismatic history. Designed by George T. Morgan, this classic silver dollar combines iconic American imagery with the history of the nation's westward expansion and silver mining industry. This example is certified MS65, representing a Gem Uncirculated coin with no wear from circulation and strong overall eye appeal. Dates and mintmarks vary based on availability.
History
First introduced in 1878, the Morgan Dollar was created following the passage of the Bland-Allison Act, which required the U.S. Treasury to purchase silver for coinage. The series became closely associated with the expansion of silver mining in the American West and the economic debates surrounding the nation's monetary system.
Morgan Dollars were produced from 1878 through 1904 and again in 1921 at the Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, Carson City, and Denver Mints. Denver produced Morgan Dollars only in 1921. Although millions of these coins were struck, many remained in Treasury vaults for decades before being released to collectors and the public. Today, Morgan Dollars are collected by date, mintmark, variety, and condition, with Gem Uncirculated examples offering an appealing combination of historic significance and preservation.
Design
The obverse features George T. Morgan's left-facing portrait of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with agricultural elements and a headband inscribed LIBERTY. The inscription E PLURIBUS UNUM appears above, thirteen stars surround the lower portion of the design, and the date appears below Liberty's portrait.
The reverse depicts a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings holding an olive branch and arrows in its talons, surrounded by a wreath. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR encircle the design, with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST appearing above the eagle. The mintmark, when present, appears beneath the wreath. Philadelphia issues carry no mintmark.
