George T. Morgan did a phenomenal job when designing the Morgan Silver Dollar, and the U.S. government did an even better job of making sure the series was struck with such fine detail that collectors and investors to this day are in love with the series. It all began in 1878 until it all seemingly would come to an end in 1904 when the silver shortage in the U.S. got so bad that the government was no longer able to strike anymore Morgan Silver Dollars. Due to the passing of the Pittman Act, our government was fortunately able to produce millions of more Morgan Silver Dollars for the final year of issue in 1921. The challenge that comes with collecting a complete set of Morgan Silver Dollar is what makes it so fun and exciting as you add one more coin to your collection and get another step closer to your goal. For instance, the 1899-O Morgan Silver Dollar with a mintage of 12,290,000, making it much easier and more affordable to add to your collection than a 1895-P Morgan Silver Dollar which has a mintage of only 880. Primarily due to a constraint from money, most collector’s take their time by slowly acquiring coin after coin. The 1889-O Morgan Silver Dollar is for sale by Bullion Shark in brilliant uncirculated condition for only $81. 121 years old, this coin is still in stunning blast white condition and can be purchased from us online or over the phone at 516-739-5822.
