1878-S, 1885-P, 1897-P & 1900-O Morgan Silver Dollar Collection with Four FREE Folders

Product Description

This set includes four different hand-picked BU-tiful Morgans, each paired with a FREE dated folder so you can continue to build your collection.

1878-S Morgan Silver Dollar BU & FREE 1878-1883 Folder – San Fran's inaugural 1878-S issue introduced the Morgan silver dollar to the West. The first five years of Morgan dollars output by San Francisco are considered to be the best struck in the entire series – and of the quintet of early dates, this 1878-S issue is the scarcest overall. Our BU specimens boast nice original luster and no sign of wear, just like when they left the west coast mint more than 14 decades ago.

1885 Morgan Silver Dollar BU & FREE 1884-1890 Folder – Morgan mintages steadily rose in the 1880s when silver was still pouring out of the great Western mines. But unlike other coins of the day, many were held in reserve and later lost in government melts, therefore published mintages can be deceiving in relation to the actual number now surviving. Today, as few as 6% of the original 17.8 million 1885 Morgan silver dollars struck by Philadelphia are estimated to remain in the beautiful Brilliant Uncirculated quality we are offering here.

1897 Morgan Silver Dollar BU & FREE 1891-1897 Folder – In the first half of the 20th century, this particular issue was an elusive rarity as only a tiny percentage had been released into circulation. In 1925, a numismatist reported that he had been unable to find a single circulated 1897 Philadelphia Morgan in commerce, after a six-year search! Mint-state specimens were even tougher to find until the 1950s. In the following decade, the U.S. Treasury sold off its remaining bags of the series, which included a number of Uncirculated 1897 silver dollars struck by the principal mint.

1900-O Morgan Silver Dollar BU & FREE 1898-1921 Folder – Although New Orleans produced the majority of Morgan dollars in 1900, it's estimated that less than 4% of its original mintage of 12.6 million survives in mint-state grades. Even though Philadelphia struck 30% fewer than New Orleans in 1900, more of those mint-state specimens managed to escape government melts.
