1883-P Morgan Silver Dollar PCGS MS65

A Stunning Example of an Early-Year Morgan!

By all rights, there shouldn't be any Morgan Silver Dollars left to collect. Especially not a Morgan minted in 1883, at a time when the Wild West, along with its world of pioneers, prospectors and bandits, was still its prime. In a year that saw the world's first rodeo held in Pecos, Texas and vaudeville's premier shows in Boston, Massachusetts, the 1883 Morgan was there to witness it all. Turbulent decades followed, as shockingly high numbers of these coins -- hundreds of millions -- were melted down by the government to fund various war efforts. Other Morgans were hoarded or melted by individual owners and still others disappeared overseas. As a result, finding Morgans in excellent condition can be particularly challenging…until now, with this selection of MS65-graded coins from GovMint.com.

The design of the Morgan Silver Dollar is the work of George T. Morgan, 7th Chief Engraver of the U.S. Mint. The coin's obverse features a bust of Lady Liberty, her head surmounted by a circlet of stars. Inscriptions on the obverse include "LIBERTY," "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and the date 1883. The Morgan's reverse displays a proud eagle clutching an olive branch and arrows in its talons, its wings outstretched. Its inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "ONE DOLLAR," and "IN GOD WE TRUST" in archaic lettering. Graded an impressive MS65 by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), this coin is a true collector's gem, with impressive luster and barely any marks -- perfect for display.
