Buy Morgan Dollars from Money Metals Exchange: https://www.moneymetals.com/buy/silver/silver-dollars/morgan-dollars Key History (Why Morgan Dollars Exist) Bland–Allison Act (1878): Required the U.S. Treasury to purchase large amounts of silver and coin it into standard silver dollars—setting the stage for the Morgan dollar series. Act of January 18, 1837: Established the “standard” silver coin specifications that Morgan dollars were struck to—.900 fine silver and 412.5 grains (26.73 g) total weight. The Artist Behind the Coin The Morgan dollar was designed by George T. Morgan, an Assistant Engraver at the U.S. Mint, responsible for the iconic Liberty portrait and the bold eagle reverse. Years Minted Morgan silver dollars were minted 1878–1904, and again in 1921 (the final year of the classic Morgan series). Mints and Mint Marks Morgan dollars were struck at these U.S. Mint locations: • Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark) • Carson City Mint (CC) • New Orleans Mint (O) • San Francisco Mint (S) • Denver Mint (D, 1921 only) Money Metals does not always carry every mint mark or year, so be sure to choose the coin(s) you wish if the selection is not performed on your behalf (selection our choice).
