Three Mints, One Year: 1897 Morgan Dollars

­The 1897 Morgan Silver Dollar was struck in the waning days of the Wild West era during a time of rapid change in the United States. With massive coin meltings, including the Pittman Act of 1918, only a fraction of the original mintage remains today, making these coins highly scarce. ­This three-piece set features coins from three historic U.S. Mints—Philadelphia, New Orleans, and San Francisco. Struck in highly pure 90% fine silver and still boasting sharp detail, each coin comes in lightly circulated About Uncirculated (AU) condition with lots of nice detail!

• ·     THE “MOTHER MINT” IN PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Mint is the original U.S. mint facility where the Morgan Silver Dollar was first struck. Known as the “Mother Mint,” the Philadelphia Mint’s role in striking Morgan Silver Dollars reflects its central role in American coinage history. Coins minted in Philadelphia during this period do not have a mintmark, which can make them easily identifiable.

• ·     FAMOUS “O” MINT MARK – The New Orleans Mint is famous for being the only American mint to be controlled by three different governing bodies during its lifetime. It was first governed by the United States of America, then the State of Louisiana when it seceded from the Union prior to the Civil War, and finally the Confederate States of America following the onset of the war. The United States regained possession in 1862. The famous “O” mint mark on the reverse of these coins is a living reminder of this historic mint’s epic history.

• ·     COVETED “S” MINT MARK – The San Francisco Mint was known for producing some of the highest-quality coins in the series, often resulting in Morgans with sharp strikes and fine details making these coins among the most highly prized by collectors.
