The original – and oldest — U.S. Mint is in Philadelphia. It was there that the very first Morgan Silver Dollars were struck in 1878, and where they were struck each year of the coin's run from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. This is your chance to get a Morgan from three of the five decades it was struck at Philadelphia Mint.

You'll receive an 1881-P Morgan, 1897-P Morgan and a 1900-P Morgan — each in stunning Brilliant Uncirculated condition. These coins will not bear mint marks, however. That's because, as the first and only Mint when it began striking coins in the late 1700s, there was no need for a mint mark. The U.S. Mint in Philadelphia was established by an Act of Congress in 1791. However, no coins were struck there until 1793.

The first silver coins were minted a year later, and the first gold coins in 1795. The original U.S. Mint is also known as "The Mother Mint" because all dies for the branch mints were prepared there. George T. Morgan was assigned to this mint, where the first of his famous silver dollars were struck in 1878.
