America's "Wild West" Mint

The Carson City Mint was established because of the difficulty of hauling gold and silver across the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the closest mint at the time in San Francisco. During these years, the Wild West was running rampant, with the "Gentleman Bandit," Black Bart, robbing Wells Fargo stagecoaches, Billy the Kid meeting his demise in New Mexico, and the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral making front page news, and infamous outlaw Jesse James being gunned down in Missouri.

A Scarce Set With Loads Of Extras!

According to coin experts, fewer than 15% of all Morgans minted, in any condition, still exist today–which makes this five-piece set of Morgans in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition all the more remarkable! This set arrives housed in a deluxe presentation case and includes a storybook on the Morgan Silver Dollar with checklist, a storybook on the Carson City Mint, an authentic 19th century California newspaper, an 1876–1897 Northern Pacific stock certificate, and an 1886 Bullion and Exchange Bank Check signed by Theodore Robert Hofer, the only man to work for the Carson City Mint from the day it opened until the day it closed. Act fast!

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 to 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 highly pure 90% fine 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.
• FAMOUS "CC" MINT MARK – Morgan Silver Dollars from the Carson City Mint are the epitome of America's Wild West. Struck from silver mined from the famous Comstock Lode, coins like these jingled in the pockets of sheriffs, outlaws, cattle barons, and gamblers as they tamed the Wild West.
• BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED CONDITION – Each coin in your 1880–1884-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Five-Piece Set will come in gleaming Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition.
• THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING MORGAN – Despite millions of Morgan Silver Dollars being struck from 1878 to 1921, most were lost in circulation or melted down in mass silver meltings. In fact, coin experts believe that only 15% of all Morgans ever struck remain in existence today!

The total amount of Morgan Silver Dollars has seen significant evaporation into both collections and the melting pots. Don't wait any longer; secure yours now!
