The minting of Silver Morgan Dollars was a result of the Bland-Allison Act that reinstated Silver as legal tender in February 1878. Before 1878, production of Silver Dollars and other Silver coinage had been halted under the Coinage Act of 1873, and this left Gold as the standard economic unit of account. Silver coins had become devalued for multiple reasons, including the discovery of the largest Silver vein in world history. By 1878, Congress decided that U.S. coins should be both Silver and Gold, and therefore, Congress passed the Bland-Allison Act, which required the U.S. Treasury to purchase a fixed amount of each month to be minted into Silver coinage.

I often include a random date AG or G Morgan in my APMEX order, and the results have been just fine. They've sent me a number of very pleasing examples, with original surfaces and good eye appeal. UnIike the BU Morgans and WLHs I buy at APMEX, I don't usually send these out for grading, but it's easy to see that APMEX is now much more conservative than it used to be,k and you can rely on getting the grade you pay for. I did receive one coin I didn't like - an unhappy 1897-O that had too much damage to avoid a details grade. Even that coin may have been worth the price -- it is a marginally better date. But I returned it, which was easy and free, and I'm happy with the replacement.
- Pros
- Value (low premium over spot)

I ordered this because I enjoy coins with history that have been around that long. I was lucky enough to receive one from 1878. It has some signs of wear but still in great condition. Couldn't be happier with this purchase.

- Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
