Designed by U.S. Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan, and Wikipedia sums them up quite nicely by saying that they were “the first standard silver dollar minted since production of the previous design, the Seated Liberty dollar, ceased due to the passage of the Coinage Act of 1873, which also ended the free coining of silver.”

If you take the time to read up on the history of these coins, you’ll find a story that is quite fascinating.

At the end of the day, we believe that part of the reason for their popularity is that it’s rare to be able to hold such a well-documented piece of history and that’s exactly what these Morgan Silver Dollars offer.
