Most collectors know that the first and last coins are the most important
coins in any series. And no coin series has been more popular with
collectors around the world than the U.S. Morgan Silver Dollars struck from
1878 to 1904 and again for one last time in 1921. With a solid silver heft
of 90% silver, it's no wonder these coins were so popular in the Wild
West. By the 20th century, however, their popularity waned as faith in paper
money took hold with the American public. This fabulous two-coin set
features the first-year-of-issue Morgan Silver Dollar struck in 1878, and a
last-year-of-issue 1921 Morgan also struck by the "Mother Mint" in
Philadelphia. Together these coins make a collection that spans 43 years of
American history and saw the United States rise from a Continental power
beginning to flex its muscles after the Civil War to a world superpower
following its victory in World War I. When you hold these Brilliant
Uncirculated coins in your hands, you can't help but be swept up in the
awesome history they represent.
