1878-1904 Morgan Dollars MS-64 PCGS (20 Different Dates/Mints)

The late 19th and early 20th centuries spanned an era of transformative change in America – from the expanding frontier to burgeoning industries. That's exactly the journey you embark on with this exceptional collection of 20 different Morgan Silver Dollars, each a vibrant testament to an influential period. Born from the Bland-Allison Act of 1878, which revived silver dollar production after years of dormancy, these coins quickly became symbols of America's economic landscape, deeply intertwined with the "Silver vs. Gold" debates that shaped monetary policy.

Each of the 20 coins in this set is a masterpiece designed by the talented George T. Morgan. The obverse proudly features a striking profile of Lady Liberty, her image reportedly modeled by Anna Willess Williams, adorned with a Phrygian cap, and encircled by a wreath of cotton and wheat, along with thirteen stars representing the original colonies. Turn the coin over, and the reverse reveals a majestic bald eagle with outstretched wings, clutching an olive branch and arrows, symbolizing peace and strength, along with the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "ONE DOLLAR." The mint mark, if present, is discreetly located below the eagle's tail feathers.

What makes this collection particularly special is its diversity. You're not just getting one or two coins; you're acquiring 20 distinct pieces, each from the varied mintage years between 1878 and 1904, and representing different mints (like Philadelphia, San Francisco, New Orleans, or even the highly sought-after Carson City before its closure in 1893). Every coin is crafted from .900 fine silver, containing an individual net precious metal content of 0.7734 troy ounces, for a total of 15.468 troy ounces across the set. With a substantial diameter of 38.1 mm and a weight of 26.73 grams (or 534.6 grams total for the full set), these aren't just coins; they're substantial pieces of history.

What's more, every single coin in this set has been professionally graded MS-64 by PCGS, a testament to their excellent preservation. An MS-64 grade signifies a coin that retains full original luster, displays good eye appeal, and may have a few minor, non-distracting marks or hairlines. This set is perfect for both seasoned numismatists looking to expand their high-grade collection and new enthusiasts eager to own a diverse and historically rich segment of American coinage in superb condition.
