1887-P Doc Holliday Morgan Silver Dollar BU

“I’m Your Huckleberry."

It’s uncertain whether gambler and gunslinger John Henry “Doc” Holliday ever really said that to outlaw Johnny Ringo as depicted in a scene from the classic 1993 film Tombstone, but there’s no questioning that the two were enemies. Forever immortalized for his role as a friend and associate of Wyatt Earp in 1881 at the Gunfight at the OK Corral in Tombstone, Arizona, Holliday was involved in eight known gunfights during his short life and joined Wyatt in his Vendetta Ride to kill those suspected of being involved in the death of Morgan Earp.

This 1887-P Morgan Silver Dollar was struck at the “Mother Mint” in Philadelphia during the last year of Doc Holliday’s short-but-memorable life, a victim of tuberculosis at the age of 36. Plus, each Morgan Dollar available here is in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition and comes housed in a custom card about this Wild West legend.

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.
• 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.
• STRUCK IN GLEAMING AMERICAN SILVER – Struck in 26.73 grams of 90% silver from the famous Comstock Lode, the Morgan Silver Dollar is a big coin measuring 38.1 mm in diameter.
• LEGAL TENDER SILVER DOLLAR – Morgans were $1 legal tender and struck during the heyday of America’s Wild West era where coins were overwhelmingly preferred over paper currency.
• BRILLIANT UNCIRCULATED CONDITION – Your 1887-P Morgan Silver Dollar was graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition.
• THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING MORGANS – While millions of Morgan Silver Dollars were struck from 1878 through 1921, massive silver meltings and the ravages of time have taken their toll. Today coin experts believe that only 15% of all Morgans ever struck remain in existence!
