1886-P Morgan Silver Dollar AU

Morgan Silver Dollars From The Epicenter Of U.S. Coinage

In the 1880s, Nevada's Comstock Lode was in full production, with loads of silver making its way East for striking at the Philadelphia Mint. Among the coins struck were these Morgan Silver Dollars, minted in highly pure 90% fine silver. The Morgan circulated heavily around the United States, and eventually as much as 85% of all Morgans wound up being worn down or melted for their precious silver.
