Discover the rich legacy of the Morgan dollar, a historic United States coin minted from 1878 to 1904, then again in 1921 and reintroduced in 2021 as a sought-after collectible. This coin marked the revival of standard silver dollars after the Coinage Act of 1873 halted the free coining of silver and discontinued the Seated Liberty dollar design. With 90% pure silver content, each Morgan dollar encapsulates 412.5 Troy grains (or 24.057 g; 0.7734 ozt) of pure silver. Named after its designer, George T. Morgan, the coin features a profile portrait of Liberty on the obverse, modeled by Anna Willess Williams, while the reverse showcases an eagle in flight. Look for the mint mark on the reverse, positioned above "D" and "O" in "Dollar." Dive into numismatic history and start or expand your collection with this iconic and significant coin.
