One of the most iconic coin designs of all time is that of Lady Liberty as developed by George T. Morgan. Originally featured on the Morgan Silver Dollar, produced between 1878 and 1904 (and again in 1921), his depiction of Lady Liberty lives on today on various silver rounds. You can now purchase a 1 oz Great American Mint Morgan Silver Round from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The original Morgan Silver Dollar was introduced in 1878, ending a five-year hiatus in the American silver dollar program. The US Mint recruited Morgan, a British designer and engraver, on the advice of the Royal Mint of London’s director. Morgan chose Anna Willess Williams as the model upon whom he would create his depiction of Lady Liberty. It took five creative sessions with Williams before Morgan had the finished product.
Silver rounds differ from silver coins in one critical area: face value. While the Morgan Silver Dollar was an official currency coin, silver rounds have no face value and are not accepted as currency in the United States. As such, private mints generally handle the production of 1 oz. Morgan Silver Rounds. This particular round was struck by the Great American Mint.
On the obverse side of the 1 oz GAM Morgan Silver Round is Morgan’s depiction of Lady Liberty. Featured in left-profile relief, Lady Liberty’s crown bears the phrase “Liberty.” Engravings on this side of the coin are similar to the original Morgan Silver Dollar, with “E Pluribus Unum” engraved above Liberty’s head.
The reverse side of the coin depicts the seal of the United States, which includes a bald eagle clutching arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other. Engravings on this side differ from the official coin. Rather than “United States of America,” the word “Silver” is engraved above the eagle’s head, while “In God We Trust” is inscribed between its outstretched wings.
Great American Mint is a privately-owned facility located in Southern California. GAM facilities consist of a custom bullion mint, precious metal refinery, and analytical laboratory.

"Absolutely beautiful round, looks very much like the classic silver dollar that its design represents. I was getting overloaded with the buffalo rounds (still love them) and couldn't get the Mercury "dime" design 1 ounce rounds so I started buying these. Really though I haven't had any disappointment from anything I've bought from JM; great service and great products!"
