Morgan Silver Dollar History
SILVER DOLLARS STRUCK FROM
412.5 GRAINS .900 FINE SILVER BY THE U.S. MINT
In 1878 Congress mandated purchases of silver bullion to make Morgan Silver Dollars. This began America’s love affair with the silver dollar. George T. Morgan designed these magnificent coins which became cherished by all Americans.
SILVER DOLLARS FROM THE
FABLED COMSTOCK LODE
Morgan Silver Dollars were minted from silver mined at Nevada’s Comstock Lode "Big Bonanza" vein discovered in 1873. It was the richest silver strike in U.S. history. These coins were minted from 1878 until 1904, when the allotted supply of silver bullion gave out. Minting resumed in 1921 - but only for one year. Then the Morgan Silver Dollar was retired forever - over 75 years ago.
SCARCITY AND BEAUTY
In 1918 more than half of all the exiting Morgan Silver Dollars were melted by the U.S. Government. This great tragedy removed a majority of the coins from the collectors market and created the collector value of your collection. Because of the scarcity of these coins you must order immediately.
HISTORY COMES TO LIFE
Because of their beauty and history, Morgan Silver Dollars are in demand for collectors worldwide. It was the favorite coin of the Old West gambling houses, and through the turn of the century symbolized American growth and expansion. It is the strong symbol of America’s determination and heritage.
