1885–1888(P) Morgan Silver Dollar McClaren Collection PCGS MS62

Power Plants, Vineyards, Racing Teams... And Morgans?!

Here's an exciting Morgan Silver Dollar that was culled from the famous McClaren Hoard amassed over a 30-year period by Gerald "Jerry" Forsythe. A spirited Midwestern entrepreneur, Forsythe's investment portfolio included everything from power plants and farmland to wine vineyards and automotive racing teams. It also included coins–lots and lots of coins!

Pedigree Substantiate Ties To An Important Numismatic Release

His collection included tens of thousands of Buffalo Nickels, Walking Liberty Half Dollars, and vintage silver dollars, to name a few. His McClaren Collection pedigree–a name derived from his Mercedes SLR McLaren super sports car–adorns the label for those coins featured here. Like those of other great hoards, this pedigree does more than substantiate ties to an important numismatic release. It also serves as the title to a collector's story, a story as rich and colorful as the coins themselves.

Fabulous Uncirculated Morgans

The Morgan Silver Dollars available here were struck from 1885 to 1888 at the Philadelphia Mint and thus have no mint mark. Plus, each has been graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in beautiful Select Uncirculated Mint State-62 (MS62) condition. While millions of Morgan Silver Dollars were struck from 1878 through 1921, massive silver meltings and the ravages of time have taken their toll. Today coin experts believe that only 15% of all Morgans ever struck remain in existence–and fewer still have pedigrees like this one from the famous McClaren Collection! Click one to your cart today. Dates will vary.

COIN HIGHLIGHTS:

• AMERICA'S MOST POPULAR COIN – The Morgan Silver Dollar–so named for its designer, U.S. Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan–has stood the test of time. Struck from 1878-1904 and again in 1921, it was the coin of America's "Wild West" and jingled in the coin purses of gamblers, gunfighters, soldiers, and dance hall girls.
• CULLED FROM THE FAMOUS McCLAREN COLLECTION – This coin is from the famous McClaren Collection assembled by Gerald "Jerry" Forsythe. And named after his Mercedes SLR McLaren super sports car.
• CLASSIC DESIGNS – Morgan's historic design depicts a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse while the reverse features an eagle with outstretched wings. The model used for Liberty was Miss Anna Williams of Philadelphia, who Morgan declared to have the most perfect feminine profile he had ever seen.
• STRUCK IN GLEAMING AMERICAN SILVER – Struck in 26.73 grams of 90% silver from the famous Comstock Lode, the Morgan Silver Dollar is a big coin measuring 38.1 mm in diameter.
• LEGAL TENDER SILVER DOLLAR – Morgans were $1 legal tender and struck during the heyday of America's Wild West era where coins were overwhelmingly preferred over paper currency.
• HIGH-GRADE UNCIRCULATED CONDITION – Your Morgan Silver Dollar has been graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) in Select Uncirculated Mint State-62 (MS62) condition.
• THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING MORGANS – While millions of Morgan Silver Dollars were struck from 1878 through 1921, massive silver meltings and the ravages of time have taken their toll. Today coin experts believe that only 15% of all Morgans ever struck remain in existence!
