The Legacy of the Morgan Silver Dollar

The Morgan Silver Dollar, named after the talented George T. Morgan, has been a staple in American coinage since the late 19th century. Minted originally between 1878 and 1904, then again in 1921, these coins have a rich history and a design that captures the spirit of liberty and strength.

Collectors just can’t get enough of these beauties, and this new 230th Anniversary Medal brings that classic charm into the present day.
