1883-P Morgan Silver Dollar NGC/PCGS MS64

Early-Date 1883 Philadelphia Morgan Silver Dollars

Meet the “Buffalo Bill Silver Dollar!” This classic Morgan Silver Dollar was struck in 1883, the same year that William F. Cody, better known as Buffalo Bill, founded his famous Wild West show that entertained guests from around the world.

The Workhorse Coins Of The American Wild West

First struck in 1878, the Morgan Silver Dollar was one of the workhorse coins of the American Wild West. Minted in highly pure 90% fine silver, Morgans are the most widely collected and coveted silver dollars in U.S. history—perhaps in part because their numbers were dramatically slashed by the Pittman Act of 1918, which called for millions of Morgans to be melted. It’s believed that as few as 15% of all Morgans still exist in any condition.
