When one thinks about numismatics, the Morgan Silver Dollar series is the first to come to mind. A 1897-P Morgan Silver Dollar is either something you own, or have always wanted to own, whether you are a collector or an investor, due to its tremendous numismatic value and precious metal content. The series was one of seven coins designed by George T. Morgan, which ran from 1878 to 1904, which only stopped due to a serious silver shortage in the U.S.. The series returned in 1921, which is a very special year since this was the only time that the Denver Mint had minted Morgan Dollars and it was the year in which the Peace Dollar series had begun. With a mintage of 2,822,000, the 1897-P Morgan Silver Dollar production was approximately half of the amount of the San Francisco and New Orleans mints. The low mintage makes the coin difficult to find (especially in better conditions) and therefore, makes it more expensive. Luckily, Bullion Shark has the 1897-P Morgan Silver Dollar in brilliant uncirculated condition, available for sale for only $1,350 online on our website or when you speak with one of our numismatic experts, where we’re offering free shipping and handling as well.
