Morgan Dollars
(1794 - Current)
The Morgan Dollar was introduced in 1878 following the Bland–Allison Act, which required the U.S. government to purchase large quantities of silver for coinage. Designed by George T. Morgan, the obverse features a left-facing portrait of Liberty modeled after Anna Willess Williams, while the reverse displays a heraldic eagle with outstretched wings.
Morgan Dollars were struck in 90% silver and 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams. Minted at Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, Carson City, and later Denver (in 1921), the series includes numerous popular dates and mintmarks. Carson City issues in particular are highly sought after.
Production initially ran from 1878 to 1904, then resumed for a final year in 1921 before transitioning to the Peace Dollar. Many Morgan Dollars were stored in Treasury vaults for decades and later released, contributing to their widespread availability today. Their large size, silver content, and classic Old West association make them one of the most collected U.S. coin series.
