The Morgan Silver Dollar first appeared in 1878 and was the last large silver dollar widely used in the US. These coins were made every year until 1904 and then again in 1921 after a long pause of 17 years.
When silver dollar coining resumed in the US in 1921, the mint initially used George T. Morgan’s original design from 1921. In a twist of fate, Morgan was, at this time, serving as the 7th Chief Engraver of the United States Mint and had to create Morgan Silver Dollar dies from scratch. By 1921, the original dies for Morgan Dollars had been lost.
The obverse side of the 2023-S Proof Morgan Dollars shows the same design made by George T. Morgan in 1878. It’s a profile view of Liberty with a special hat on her head. She also has some special decorations in her hair.
On the reverse of the 2023-S Proof Morgan Silver Dollars, there’s an image of an eagle. This design by George T. Morgan shows a bald eagle with its wings spread out. One of its talons holds arrows, while the other holds an olive branch, representing war and peace.
These 2023-S Proof Morgan Silver Dollars are PF70 specimens. Coins with this grade showcase full, original mint luster and no flaws. The Early Release designation indicates a coin received for grading within 30 days of release from the mint.
