One of the Most Affordable High-Grade 1896 Morgans
Pick up the 2019 Red Book – the “coin bible” for collectors – and you’ll see some astronomical prices for 1896 Morgan Silver Dollars in Gem Uncirculated Mint State-65 (MS65) grades. An 1896-S Morgan struck at the San Francisco Mint is listed at $5,500. Change that “S” mint mark to the “O” of the New Orleans Mint and you’re looking at $165,000!
But before you faint, fear not – we’ve got you covered! The 1896-P struck at the “Mother Mint” in Philadelphia is by far the most affordable way to add this date to your collection, and we’ve secured a number in the same MS65 grade, certified by either the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) or the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Grading service varies, but the incredible prices do not. Rather than spend $165,500 for an O-Mint coin, you can secure an 1896-P Morgan Silver Dollar for less than a $250! Hurry and secure yours now!

- HIGH-GRADE CONDITION – Your 1896-P Morgan Silver Dollar has been graded by either the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) or Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in Gem Uncirculated Mint State-65 (MS65) 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!
