The Morgan Dollar, designed by Mint Chief Engraver George T. Morgan (1845-1925), was minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. This iconic silver dollar symbolizes the nation’s westward expansion and industrial growth in the late 19th century. Utilizing modern technology alongside historical Mint assets, the new Morgan Dollar boasts a stunning proof finish.
On the obverse (heads side), the coin features a profile of Liberty, adorned with a cap, flora, and a crown that bears the word “LIBERTY.” Surrounding her are 13 stars, along with the inscriptions “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and the year of issuance.
The reverse (tails side) displays an eagle with outstretched wings, holding arrows and an olive branch, complemented by a wreath. Inscriptions on this side include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”
Each coin is elegantly packaged in a sleek black box, featuring an outer sleeve adorned with an image of the obverse, along with a certificate of authenticity. This proof finish Morgan Dollar, crafted from lustrous 99.9% silver, is destined to be a cherished addition to any collection for years to come.
