History Of The Morgan Silver Dollar

 

The first Morgan Silver Dollar was coined at 3:17 pm on March 11th, 1878, and was given as a gift to President Hayes. Production of the Morgan Silver Dollar took place in Philadelphia and eventually spread to San Francisco, Carson City, New Orleans, and Denver.

These MS68 Morgan Silver Dollars are especially rare because they are uncirculated, which means they have never been sold and are in pristine condition. Coined in 1879 and 1881, you can now put these iconic American coins in your collection.

Morgan Silver Dollar Design

The design of this coin is especially interesting because Morgan aimed to depict an American woman on the coin for the first time, instead of the usual Greek Style profile. Morgan’s friend, artist Thomas Eakins, suggested he use Anna Willess Williams of Philadelphia as a model. In total, Morgan had five sittings with Williams; he declared her profile to be the most perfect he had seen.
