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 represents the nation’s westward expansion and industrial progress in the late 19th century. The contemporary version of the Morgan Dollar incorporates modern technology and historical Mint assets, resulting in a beautiful proof finish.
On the obverse, Liberty is depicted in profile, adorned with a cap, floral elements, and a crown inscribed with “LIBERTY.” Surrounding her are 13 stars, the motto “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and the year of issue.
The reverse features an eagle with outstretched wings, clutching arrows and an olive branch, framed by a wreath. Inscriptions on this side include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and “ONE DOLLAR.”
Encapsulated in a stylish clamshell, the coin is presented in an elegant blue box adorned with the official United States Mint seal. The outer sleeve showcases an image of the obverse design. Accompanied by a certificate of authenticity featuring the same obverse image, this proof finish Morgan Dollar—crafted from lustrous 99.9% silver—is sure to become a beloved collector’s item for years to come.
