The Morgan Silver Dollar was one of the most popular silver dollars of its time and, still to this day, is extremely popular amongst collectors. With its elegant design that includes a side portrait of Anna Willess Williams, a woman of Philadelphia and a reverse design that was inspired by the bald eagle, the Morgan Silver Dollar is known to have one of the most iconic designs of any U.S. coin. It had U.S. citizens jumping at the chance to claim one of these beauties! It was designed by George T. Morgan, hence why the coin was named the Morgan Silver Dollar. He arrived in Philadelphia on October 9, 1876 to begin designing the silver coin.
The Morgan Silver dollar was minted from 1878-1904 and, again in 1921. There were millions of these coins produced each year at a variety of mints. It is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The Philadelphia mint started producing the Morgan dollar on March 11th 1878. It was originally minted in Philadelphia, then in Carson City, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Denver. It was only minted in Denver for the 1921 edition, this was because the Denver mint was only established in 1906.
Today, the Morgan Silver Dollar is one of the most collected of all U.S. rare coins since there is a coin for collectors of all budgets. Nice coins exist from $30 to millions of dollars.
