Obtain a piece of history with an 1878-1904 Morgan VG+ Silver Dollar at the lowest price online today! Morgan Silver Dollars are amongst America’s most collectible treasures, as they represent a significant turning point in U.S. coinage history.
The Morgan silver dollar of 1878 to 1904 was the first silver dollar minted since the cessation of silver dollars in 1873 as mandated by the Coinage act, which forbade owners of silver bullion to produce legal tender coins. Following the Bland-Allison act of 1878, the United States government assumed the responsibility of purchasing silver bullion and minting it into silver dollars once again. Engraver George T. Morgan was chosen to design this dollar, and his design has left its legacy as one of the most collected coins in United States history.
COIN HIGHLIGHTS

- Consisting of 0.7734 oz of 900 Fine Silver

The eagle is encapsulated in a laurel wreath, which symbolizes victory and the feature is joined on the reverse by the motto, ‘In God, We Trust,’ the American legend and the coin’s unique denominational value.
The obverse of each coin features British-born, George Morgan’s striking effigy of Lady Liberty, who wears a Phrygian cap that has been dressed in cotton and wheat and inscribed on the ribbon with the word, ‘Liberty.’ Also on the obverse, the motto, "E Pluribus Unum" or "Of many, one" as well as thirteen stars, the coin’s year of issue and a light, decorative border.
