Morgan Silver Dollars
Though Morgan silver dollars never gained broad appeal during their original production run, their connection to an important period in American history has rendered Morgan dollars highly valued among collectors. Designed by artist George Morgan in 1876, the coin bearing his name was first struck on March 11, 1878. The Liberty Head design on the coin's obverse is based on Morgan's sketch of a young Philadelphia schoolteacher named Anna Willess Williams, who later received considerable national attention for her role in the design. Depicted on the reverse is a notably undersized American Eagle, a feature which was not well received by the American public when the coin was first introduced. Designer George T. Morgan; weight 26.73 grams; composition .900 silver, .100 copper (net weight .77344 oz. pure silver); diameter 38.1 mm; reeded edge; mints: Philadelphia, New Orleans, Carson City, Denver, San Francisco.
