1889-O Morgan Silver Dollar VG–F

Vintage 1889 New Orleans Morgan Silver Dollar

First struck in 1878, the Morgan Silver Dollar was one of the workhorse coins of the American Wild West. Struck in highly pure 90% fine silver, they're believed to be the most widely collected and coveted Silver Dollar 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 today in any condition.
