Morgan Silver Dollar Coin – 1878-1904 VG+

The Morgan Dollar was the money of the American West, minted from Comstock Lode silver and passed across card tables, general store counters, and railroad ticket windows for decades. This listing delivers one Morgan dated between 1878 and 1904 in VG+ (Very Good or better) condition, a coin that actually did that work. Each contains 0.7734 troy oz of actual silver in the historic 90% silver composition, priced close enough to melt that history rides along nearly free.

Key Features:

• Purity and Weight: 90% silver, 10% copper, 26.73 grams, 0.7734 troy oz ASW
• Metal Type: Silver
• Obverse Design: George T. Morgan’s Liberty Head with E PLURIBUS UNUM, 13 stars, and the date
• Reverse Design: Eagle with raised wings holding arrows and an olive branch within a laurel wreath
• Condition: VG+, moderate even wear with major details clear and full rims

The obverse presents Liberty in left profile, her coronet inscribed LIBERTY and her cap gathered with wheat and cotton, symbols of a nation stitching itself back together after the Civil War. Morgan modeled her on Philadelphia schoolteacher Anna Willess Williams, choosing an American face over classical convention. E PLURIBUS UNUM and 13 stars ring the portrait with the date below.

The reverse shows the eagle with wings spread high, an olive branch and three arrows in its grip, IN GOD WE TRUST in Gothic script above, all wrapped in a laurel wreath with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and ONE DOLLAR at the borders. Dates and mintmarks vary with stock and may include New Orleans, San Francisco, or Philadelphia strikes.

In VG+ grade, expect smooth, honest wear across Liberty’s cheek and the eagle’s breast with legends, dates, and devices fully readable, coins with a century of stories and the heft of the original 38.1 mm cartwheel. Pittman Act meltings destroyed hundreds of millions of Morgans, so every survivor represents shrinking supply.

Real frontier silver at near-bullion pricing is the classic crossover buy. Order your VG+ Morgan Silver Dollar today.
