Minted from 1878 to 1904, and again in 1921, the Morgan Dollar was designed by Mint Chief Engraver George T. It represented the country’s westward expansion and industrial development in the late 19th century. Today, the Morgan Silver Dollar is one of the most colorful and treasured relics of America’s western frontier, and an inspirational coin that collectors are drawn to because of their historical significance. Holding a Morgan in your hand takes you back to the Old West, reminiscent of America’s ingenuity and entrepreneurship. Morgan Dollars invoke images of western salons and honky-tonks, with cowboys raising the stakes at poker games, and stagecoach robberies from outlaws looking to score a cache of these big, beautiful silver dollars. Morgan Dollars contain three-quarters of an ounce of 90% silver, mined ONLY from Nevada’s legendary Comstock Lode. From 1878 to 1904, and again in 1921, 657 million Morgan Dollars were produced in 96 different date-and-mint combinations, over the 27 years of Morgan production. Over the years, hundreds of millions of Morgan Dollars were melted.
