The Morgan Silver Dollar remains one of the most celebrated coins in U.S. history, and this offering brings you a circulated example in Fine or better condition from the series issued between 1878 and 1904. Struck from 90% silver and bearing the classic Liberty and eagle designs, each coin in this listing has seen moderate circulation but retains clear details, a bold date, and visible lettering. With years chosen at random, each coin is a mystery drawn from the heart of America's silver dollar legacy.
Historical Insight:
Minted during a time of economic expansion and western frontier growth, the Morgan Silver Dollar is deeply tied to America's rise in the late 1800s. These coins circulated heavily in banks, saloons, rail depots, and trading posts across the country. A Fine+ grade Morgan still offers strong visual appeal and historical character, showing honest use while retaining its most important design elements. Whether you're building a circulated type set or seeking affordable silver with a story, these coins are a perfect addition.
