MS-64 PCGS 1891-S Morgan Dollar
George T. Morgan created the Morgan Dollar design utilized on the United States dollar coins minted in 1878 and 1904 and again in 1921. The Morgan Silver Dollar was the first standard Silver dollar minted since manufacturing of the previous design, the Seated Liberty dollar, ceased due to the enactment of the Coinage Act of 1873, which concluded the free coining of Silver. The coin is named for its designer, George T. Morgan. By 1876, there were almost no Silver Dollars left in Treasury vaults available for circulation, yet demand remained high for these coins as they were still legal tender for all debts private and public at their face value of one dollar. To fulfill this demand, in 1876 the Secretary of the Treasury, Benjamin Bristow, began acquiring large quantities of Silver bullion from George T. Morgan and other sources for coinage purposes.

Morgan's design for the coin's obverse included a profile portrait symbolizing Liberty. The reverse design was an eagle with wings outstretched, clutching an olive branch in one talon and arrows in the other. From 1878 until 1904, the Morgan Dollar was United States' dollar coin. It was struck at five different mints: Philadelphia (no mint mark), New Orleans (O), Carson City (CC), Denver (D), and San Francisco (S). George T. Morgan's iconic design makes the Morgan Dollar highly desirable to collectors worldwide.
