1886-P $1 Statue of Liberty Morgan Silver Dollar BU

The Statue of Liberty Morgan Silver Dollar

As immigrants in the late 19th century sailed into New York Harbor, a towering beacon lit the way welcoming them to her shores. The towering beacon was, of course, the Statue of Liberty. And since her dedication more than 130 years ago on October 28, 1886, the gigantic sculpture has assumed the mantle of arguably the most iconic landmark in the United States of America.

During the dedication ceremonies it’s highly likely that many of the people in attendance had a few Lady Liberty coins in their pockets in the form of these big, bold and beautiful Morgan Silver Dollars. It’s also likely that those coins would have originated from the U.S. Mint’s “Mother Mint” located in Philadelphia just 80 miles south of Liberty Island.

By the end of 1886, the Philadelphia Mint had coined nearly 20 million Morgans – and impressive number to be sure. But due to the ravages of time, commerce and government-sanctioned meltings, most of these hefty silver dollars have been taken from us. In fact, numismatists have estimated that as few as 15% of ALL Morgans ever struck have survived to this day in ANY condition!
