Vintage Morgans From The Mother Mint That Were Saved From The Melting Pots

Morgan Silver Dollars are one of the most popular collector coins in the United States. Folks love their hefty size and highly pure 90% fine silver content. They also love collecting them by date. In 1889, the “Mother Mint” in Philadelphia churned was one of three U.S. Mints that produced the coin, joining the New Orleans and San Francisco Mints in producing this Turn-of-the-Century coin that was minted the same year that Congress authorized the use of voting machines, President William McKinley became the first American president to ride in an automobile, and James J. Jeffries knocked out Bob Fitzsimmons in the world heavyweight boxing championship held at Coney Island.

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.
• BIG SILVER COINS – Struck in 26.73 grams of 90% silver, the Morgan Silver Dollar is a big coin 38.1 mm in diameter. When this coin was plunked down on a counter, its weight meant real money, pure and simple.
• 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.
• EXTREMELY FINE CONDITION – This 1889-P Morgan Silver Dollars will come in beautiful Extremely Fine (XF) condition.
• THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING MORGAN – Despite millions of Morgan Silver Dollars being struck from 1878–1921, most were lost in circulation or melted down in mass silver meltings. In fact, coin experts believe that only 15% of all Morgan ever struck remain in existence today!
