Now is your chance to own the First and Last Morgan Silver Dollars The Morgan Dollars were minted from 1878 to 1904 and again for one more year in 1921. The Morgan Dollar was the product of America's largest silver strike, which occurred at the Comstock Lode in northern Nevada in the mid-1870s. Though it never gained broad appeal during its production run, its connection to an important period in American history has rendered it a highly sought-after piece among collectors. Early Morgans are rarer because they were melted down to mint the 1921 Morgan Dollar issue. The Morgan Dollar is named after its designer, George T. Morgan, who designed the obverse and reverse of the coin. The Morgan Dollar is one of the most popular and widely collected US coins.

The Morgan Dollar is one of the most famous coins in American history. It evokes images of the Wild West. Cowboys stepping into a hostile bar and flipping the barkeep a silver dollar for a bottle of Whiskey. If these Morgan Dollars could speak what a story they could tell!
However, the designer of one of the most iconic coins in US history was in fact British! George T Morgan was born close to Birmingham in 1845 and would go on to become a contract engraver for The Royal Mint until he was contacted by the US Mint and appointed a special engraver in Philadelphia.
He would work his way through the ranks until eventually being appointed Chief Engraver in 1917, but many still agree that his greatest achievement was the Silver Morgan Dollar.
