The Morgan silver dollar was named for its designer George T. Morgan, who placed an M on both sides of the coin to lay his claim. These coins were minted from 1878 until 1904 in the Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Carson City mints and then again one more time in 1921, the last year of the Morgan Silver Dollar.. Letters signifying the mint of the coin (commonly referred to as a mint mark) were stamped on the reverse side of the coin underneath the branches on which the Eagle sits. Only Morgan silver dollars coined in Philadelphia have no mint mark.

The coins were discontinued in 1904 after the government exhausted its supply of silver bullion. In 1918, Congress passed the Pittman Act and recalled over 270 million silver dollars for melting. The silver dollar gained new life in America in 1921 and in that year the Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Denver mints coined the last Morgan silver dollars.

Morgan silver dollars are the most popular and widely collected of all U.S. silver coins. Minted between 1878 and 1904, and again in 1921, in Philadelphia, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Carson City, these classic silver coins served as the backbone of daily commerce, both nationally and internationally, for decades. Today Morgan dollars are avidly sought by collectors worldwide for their beautiful design and rich history. Investors love them for their high silver content, superb minting, and excellent leverage to the silver market. We love these true American classics as one of the most fascinating coins and best silver investments on the market today.

Historic design and true scarcity

Named after designer James T. Morgan, the Morgan dollar is also known as the Liberty Head dollar because of the radiant, dignified profile of Miss Liberty featured on the obverse. The model who sat for this famous portrait, a school teacher named Anna W. Williams, gained international celebrity as "Miss Liberty." The reverse of the Morgan dollar depicts the inspiring image of an American Eagle, standing tall with widespread wings, perched confidently upon the olive branch of peace and the arrows of military strength, signaling a new era of American strength and prosperity.

Although Morgan dollars were minted in large quantities from 1878 through 1904, when production ended because of a silver shortage, very few have survived until today. As result of the Pittman Act of 1918, nearly 270 million Morgan dollars were melted down into silver bars for export, causing some dates to become rare. Further melting occurred in the 1960s and 1980s when silver prices skyrocketed. Only about 17% of the total number of Morgan silver dollars minted have survived, and only a tiny fraction of those in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, making them genuinely scarce coins.

 

Now is a great time for silver!

With silver trading under $5.00 an ounce, now is a great time to take advantage of an unusually strong investment climate for the white metal. Based on a combination of current factors, including current silver mining volume, above-ground supplies, industrial demand, and investor demand, many market analysts believe that the natural price of silver should be somewhere between $15 and $20 per ounce today. Some true believers are even arguing that silver will become more valuable than gold in our lifetime!

While we would not go as far as these extreme optimists, we agree that the silver market is long overdue for a price advance. Industrial demand for silver is on the rise, and is expected to exceed 850 million ounces this year. Mining and scrap recovery operations, however, are projected to produce only some 650 million ounces, leaving an industrial supply deficit of around 200 million ounces.

Because of silver’s unique combination of properties -- it’s highly malleable and conductive, fatigue and corrosion resistant, with high tensile strength, etc. -- very few industrial substitutes exist, and none are cost-effective. With strong ongoing demand and a large deficit in the supply chain, prices are bound to rise.

 

Rising investor and collector demand

More and more, investors and collectors are turning to silver bullion and coins, whether to secure their investment portfolios against the risk of uncertain times, or simply to build their collections. In periods of economic uncertainty and inflation, silver is an excellent way to balance out paper investments and reduce overall risk.

U.S. Silver Eagles, those bullion-only coins manufactured by the U.S. Mint, have witnessed a huge surge in popularity recently. Frenzied demand for these coins has also been driven by TV promotions, as well as by all the new collectors attracted by the wonderful State Quarter program. As legions of new collectors seek out other coins for their collections, many are discovering the fascinating history and natural beauty of classic U.S. silver coinage and turing to Morgan dollars. Any way you look at it, demand for silver is on the rise.
