What is a Morgan Silver Dollar?
The Morgan silver dollar is one of the most sought-after US coins, minted from 1878 to 1904 and once more in 1921. Designed by George T. Morgan, this coin features Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse. Each Morgan silver dollar contains 90% silver and 10% copper, weighing 26.73 grams with a silver content of 0.7734 troy ounces.
Collectors treasure Morgan silver dollars for their historical significance, artistic design, and rarity. Coins minted in Carson City (CC), San Francisco (S), and Philadelphia (no mint mark) have varying degrees of rarity, impacting their value.
At Accurate Precious Metals, we offer a wide selection of genuine Morgan silver dollars, ensuring that collectors and investors have access to the most desirable pieces.
Why Are Mint Marks Important for Silver Dollars?
Mint marks play a crucial role in determining a Morgan silver dollar’s value. Here’s why:
- Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark) – Higher mintage, more common coins.
- Carson City Mint (CC) – Lower mintage, highly sought-after, often commanding premium prices.
- San Francisco Mint (S) – Known for high-quality strikes, valuable in top conditions.
Morgan dollars from the Carson City Mint (CC) are especially rare and desirable. Accurate Precious Metals offers expert evaluation to help you understand the significance of your coin’s mint mark and its impact on value.
How to Identify a Genuine Morgan Silver Dollar?
Buying and selling silver coins requires knowledge and expertise to avoid counterfeits. Here’s how to verify authenticity:
✔ Check the Design Details: Genuine Morgan dollars have sharp, well-defined features, especially in Liberty’s hair and the eagle’s feathers.
✔ Measure the Weight and Diameter: An authentic Morgan dollar should weigh 26.73 grams and have a diameter of 38.1 mm.
✔ Inspect the Edge: The coin should have a reeded edge, not a smooth or altered one.
✔ Use Professional Grading Services: At Accurate Precious Metals, we can authenticate and grade your Morgan silver dollars, ensuring you buy or sell genuine coins.
