Once thought to be lost to history, the Morgan Silver Dollar is still available to investors and collectors more than 100 years after it went out of circulation. The Morgan Silver Dollars were largely melted down by the Treasury Department in the 1920s, leaving many to believe they’d never surface in significant numbers again. Right now, the Morgan Silver Dollar coin is available to purchase on Silver.com.

Coin Highlights:

  • Individual coins ship in plastic flips, multiples of 10 – 20 ship in tubes.
  • Total mintage of 570,247,299 coins released by the United States Mint!
  • Consists of .859 Troy ounces, or 26.73 Grams, of actual silver content in BU condition.
  • Bears a face value of $1 (USD) backed by the federal government.
  • Obverse features Lady Liberty in left-profile relief.
  • Reverse bears the American bald eagle design.
  • Design from George T. Morgan.

All Morgan Silver Dollar coins available here today on Silver.com in this listing are in BU condition. Coins in this condition exhibit no signs of wear and tear, though you may notice a range of minor flaws that include breaks in the luster, spotted surfaces, and contact marks from the original coining process.

As noted above, the original production run of 570 million Morgan Silver Dollars over nearly 30 years was actually a bit of an exercise in futility. At the turn of the 20th century, Americans had little interest in carrying around bulky silver dollar coins. Of the 570 million struck, 270 million were collected in 1918 under the Pittman Act and melted down for the silver.

Most of the Morgan Silver Dollars struck during its original production run were hoarded in bags of 1,000 coins by the mints due to the lack of popularity for carrying around these coins. The San Francisco Mint released hundreds of thousands of these hoarded coin bags in the 1940s and 1950s, much to the delight of collectors.

The Morgan Silver Dollar’s obverse face includes the image of Liberty created in 1878 by George T. Morgan. A Briton by birth, George T. Morgan came to the United States on a six-month trial position at the United States Mint. Not only would he create this design for the silver dollar, he’d go on to succeed Charles E. Barber as US Mint Chief Engraver upon the latter’s death in 1917.

On the reverse of all Morgan Silver Dollar coins you’ll find the image of an American bald eagle clutching arrows in one talon and an olive branch in the other. The eagle’s head is set facing the olive branch, a design facet typically used when the nation is at peace.

Is my information secure?

We take data security very seriously. When you place an order with silver.com, your information is transmitted with the utmost SSL (secure socket layers) 256-bit protection. We also never have access to your credit/debit card details, as they are securely communicated directly to the payment processor (Authorize.net) and never retained by Silver.com. For this reason, we also don't process credit/debit card orders over the phone, as it is the least secure way to process those transactions.

In addition, all VISA and MasterCard orders undergo an additional step of user authentication - the respective Verified by VISA or MasterCard SecureCode programs. Upon completing checkout with a VISA or MasterCard credit/debit card, you may be promoted for additional details to confirm your identity and protect our customers against credit card fraud.

Finally, the data we do retain in our system, including but not limited to name, address, phone number, and order history, is never shared with or sold to any unrelated third-parties. Please review our Privacy Policy for full details on our data security measures.

Please note, the Silver.com website accepts orders 24/7/365, so you can always lock in live product prices and make purchases outside of business hours.

Do you charge sales tax?

We are required to collect sales tax in certain states. You can review your states sales tax policy here: https://www.silver.com/taxes. You should always consult with a tax adviser for specific advice in your area.

Where does your spot price come from?

We use a live, up-to-the-second spot price feed supplied by Xignite.com, a worldwide leader in the data supply market.

Are your products actually in stock?

Yes. We are one of the few bullion dealers in the industry who only deems products "in stock" when we have them on-hand and ready to ship immediately. In the instance of a presale item, we denote that the product is on presale and the estimated shipping date. While we make the best efforts to hit presale dates, the dates are only estimates, given we cannot control mint production issues and/or carrier dealyes.

Why are multiple prices listed?

We offer a 4% discount to "cash" paying customers - with paper check, bank wire, and bitcoin payments being defined as cash. On many products, we are also able to offer volume discounts to customers purchasing large quantities of the same item. All volume pricing is laid out in the chart on the product's description page, as well as in the cart.

When do I lock in my price?

All prices are locked in at the time of purchase. Credit/debit card, PayPal, BitCoin, Ethereum, and Ripple orders are paid at the time of checkout, while paper check and bank wire orders require a credit/debit card on file to lock in your pricing while we await your payment. Please note, paper check and bank wire orders will NOT result in a charge to your card - we simple maintain the card on file while we await full payment by your selected payment method.

Do you ship internationally?

We currently only ship to addresses in the United States, including APOs.
