Product Description
Ask any seasoned numismatist, and they’ll tell you: the crown jewels of the Morgan dollar series are the first five issues struck at San Francisco between 1878 and 1882. Among the 95 different Morgans, these legendary coins stand out as the finest, most consistently well-made examples ever produced for circulation.
At the time, San Francisco was America’s newest and most advanced facility, specializing exclusively in silver coinage. Fed by silver from the fabled mines of the Comstock Lode and Tombstone, the Mint’s cutting-edge equipment and unmatched craftsmanship turned out Morgans of extraordinary beauty and quality. With all its resources focused solely on Morgan silver dollars, San Francisco created coins that have been admired for over a century as the pinnacle of the series.
This exclusive set includes the very first five San Francisco Morgans – 1878-S through 1882-S – all in gleaming, Brilliant Uncirculated condition. Each silver-rich dollar has survived untouched by commerce, preserving its dazzling luster and crisp detail just as it left the Mint nearly 150 years ago.
