PCGS Graded Morgan Silver Dollar Coin Coins Dollars For Sale
Graded Morgan 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.
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.
