The 1878-1904 Morgan Silver Dollar in About Uncirculated (AU+) condition offers the look of a mint-state coin with only the slightest signs of circulation. These coins, struck in 90% silver, display crisp design elements, strong luster, and minimal wear—typically confined to the highest points of the design. Each coin is selected from the original Morgan Dollar era and shipped as a random year, making every piece a blend of historical value and near-uncirculated quality.
Historical Insight:
The Morgan Dollar is one of America's most beloved silver coins, and examples in AU+ condition provide collectors with a high-quality representation of this historic series without the premium of mint state grades. These coins were struck during an era of expansion and transformation—moving from the Old West to the dawn of modern industry. An AU+ Morgan Dollar offers a snapshot of that history with the detail, beauty, and luster that continue to captivate collectors more than a century later.
Highlights:
- Years Issued: 1878-1904 (random year)
- Mint Marks: Varies (Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, or Carson City)
- Metal Content: .7734 troy oz of actual silver weight
