Few coins in American history are more popular than the Morgan Silver Dollar. After a five-year hiatus in the production of silver dollar coins in the US, this inspiring design from a British citizen new to life in the US went on to become one of the most collectible and rare coins in American history. Today, the Morgan Silver Dollar Coin is available from the original production range at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Prior to 1873, Americans could bring in silver stores to the Treasury Department to be coined into US silver dollars. The Coinage Act of 1873 not only brought an end to the free coining of silver in the US, but also halted the production of American silver dollars. This resulted in the end of the use of the Seated Liberty Dollar design.
With passage of the Bland-Allison Act following 1873, silver mining interests failed to restore free silver coining in the US, but did manage to force the Treasury to commit to purchasing a set amount of silver each year to coin into dollars on a monthly basis. Rather than revive the Seated Liberty Dollar design, George T. Morgan was tasked with creating what would become known as the Morgan Silver Dollar.
On the obverse is the image of Lady Liberty in left-profile relief. The Morgan Silver Dollar was the first American coin to depict Liberty as an American woman, rather than using the previous Greek style to depict Liberty. Engravings on this face included the saying “E Pluribus Unum,” 13 stars, and the year of issue.
The reverse of all Morgan Silver Dollar coins featured the image of the American bald eagle with its wings spread wide and clutching arrows and an olive branch in its talons. Engravings on this face included the nation of issue, the national motto, and the coin’s face value.
Each of these Morgan Silver Dollar coins is from the original production period of 1878 to 1904. The coins offered here come with conditions ranging from Very Good up to Very Fine. The numeric grades in this range run from 8 to 35 on the Sheldon numeric scale. The lowest of these conditions showcases medium to heavy wear on the coins with some details still visible, while the highest of these conditions exhibit medium to light wear with all of the general details still visible.

"This was an easy transaction."
"Just received my order of 10 Morgan silver dollars. I couldn't be more pleased. Eight different dates between 1879 and 1900. All appear in great condition for their age. I hope I look as good at 145 y.o. Thanks JMB."
"JM Bullion is very generous! Thank you! I received all pre-1900, with some reaching nearly 1880. JM Bullion certainly knows how to keep their customers happy and loyal- I couldn’t see myself purchasing from anyone else. Thank you for the fine selection!"
"They arrived and look better than I thought they would. Very happy with JM."

"1885 very nice "
"I just rec'd my 20pcs of the Morgan silver dollar's... even though i did rec'd 11 different dates. I was still disappointed in the fact that the majority was not of VG+ quality.. 8 of the 20pcs were just 2 dates... i was hoping for more dates...."
"Received 20 Morgans today. Great condition and date variety. Pieces of American History. I will gift to Grand Children as you are more apt to care for something if you own a piece of it."
"Ordered 27 Morgan silver dollars and 20 of them are for only 3 dates. Very disappointed. The service was ok, just expected more different dates."
