Morgan Silver Dollars were first struck in 1878. They are some of the most popular vintage, silver coins. These are 90% silver coins, each containing ¾ of a Troy Ounce of pure silver.
When they were first re-struck in 1878, no silver dollar coins had been struck for domestic use since 1873. The Coinage Act of 1873 was sponsored and supported by individuals who preferred a Gold Standard for the United States. They were successful in eliminating the silver dollar coin from being struck into the future.
But in 1878 the Bland-Allison Coinage Act was passed and became law and that changed everything. This Act, which was supported by farmers, merchants, and silver miners, restored the striking of a silver dollar coin. It also mandated that the Secretary of the Treasury was required to purchase $2 million dollars of newly mined silver from Western mining interests every month.
Now, new coin designs for the obverse and reverse needed to be created. George T. Morgan, who served as the Assistant Chief Engraver of the United States Mint created successful designs for both sides.
Morgan’s obverse design displayed a portrait of an older Miss Liberty, facing to the left. She wore a Phrygian cap, or slave cap, on her head, as well as a crown made of cotton and wheat. She also wore a headband upon which the word “LIBERTY,” was inscribed.
Additionally, the upper periphery of the obverse was inscribed with “E PLURIBUS UNUM.” The date of minting was placed on the lower periphery. In between that motto and the date were thirteen six-pointed stars – seven on the left side, six on the right.
His reverse design displayed a traditional American Bald Eagle, facing to the left, and the eagle’s wings are outstretched and raised upward. The motto, “IN GOD WE TRUST,” is positioned between the eagle’s wings. The eagle is centered within an olive wreath. It holds three arrows in one talon, and an olive branch in her other. On the upper periphery is “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” and the denomination “ONE DOLLAR,” is displayed on the lower periphery.
This coin is dated 1900 and it was struck at the New Orleans Mint, so there is an “O” mintmark underneath the eagle. The New Orleans Mint struck a mintage of 12,590,000 silver dollar coins during that year.
This coin is graded as MS64 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), one of the three most popular and desirable grading services in existence.
