Morgan Silver Dollars are to me the most beautiful of US coins.  They were minted from 1878 to 1921 and George T. Morgan, formerly a pupil of William Wyon's in the Royal Mint in London, designed the new dollar after the Bland-Allison Act of Feb. 28, 1878 authorized a standard for silver dollars.  Morgan's initial M is found at the truncation of the neck at the last tress, it also appears on the reverse on the left hand loop of the ribbon.

Coinage of the dollar was suspended after 1904 when demand was low and the bullion supply was exhausted.  Under the Pittman Act of 1918, 270,232,722 silver dollars were melted and later in 1921, the coijnage was resumed.

These dollars are very collectible, especially when in a mint state condition.  This will be the grading that begins with MS followed by a number.  Any that are MS60 or above are considered to be uncirculated as the condition is so pristine.

Our set is a mix of grades and years, a wonderful place to start your collection.  Many people like to collect until they have one of each year and mint mark, sometimes that takes years to put together.  Here you have 10 different years represented at a very affordable price for the beginner.
