The Morgan Silver Dollar is a classic American coin minted from 1878 to 1904, and again in 1921, named after its designer, George T. Morgan. Struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, it weighs 26.73 grams and contains nearly three-quarters of a troy ounce of pure silver. The obverse features a profile of Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap adorned with wheat and cotton, symbolizing unity between the North and South. The reverse depicts a bald eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, with the motto “In God We Trust” above its head. Mint marks—such as “S” for San Francisco, “O” for New Orleans, “CC” for Carson City, and later “D” for Denver—can be found just above the “D” and “O” in “DOLLAR” on the reverse. Revered for its artistry, historical significance, and intrinsic silver value, the Morgan Dollar remains one of the most popular and widely collected U.S. coins. Some dates and mintmark combinations, like the 1893-S, are extremely rare and command high premiums among collectors.
