1893-O Morgan Silver Dollar Very Fine

1883-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Very Fine

1885-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Brilliant Uncirculated

The Carson City branch mint was the smallest U.S. minting facility of the time and its total Morgan dollar mintages were by far the lowest of any facility. In 1885 during the heyday of Morgan production, its output of just 228,000 was the smallest CC...

1886-S Morgan Silver Dollar Very Fine

Its very limited 750,000 circulation mintage was by far the lowest for San Francisco Mint Morgans in the first ten years of the series. Other S-mintmark Morgan issues of the time were up to 17 times as plentiful. And vastly more 1886 Philadelphia and New...

1883-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Brilliant Uncirculated

1889-CC Morgan Silver Dollar Very Fine

Its extremely low 350,000 circulation mintage was only about 1.6% of the 1889 Philadelphia output. Today expert opinion holds that as few as 9,000 of the highly coveted 1889-CC may be extant in the clearly detailed Very Fine quality we offer or higher...

1889-O Morgan Silver Dollar Extra Fine

Much of New Orleans' original 1889 mintage of 11,875,000 Morgans has been decimated, ravaged by the passage of time and government melts. Today, a fraction of that output remains in any condition; the survival of mint-state specimens is conservatively...

1895-O Morgan Silver Dollar Good to Fine

The 1895-O issue is considered to be one of several key dates of the Morgan series. Just a tiny portion of New Orleans' original mintage of 450,000 silver dollars exists today – experts estimate that fewer than 16,000 collectible examples may remain in...

1898-S Morgan Silver Dollar Brilliant Uncirculated

In 1898 the San Francisco Mint issued the fewest silver dollars of any facility. It's estimated that as few as 32,000 of the 1898-S dollars survive in BU quality. Over 10 times as many 1898 Philadelphia dollars and over 20 times as many of the New...

1900-S Morgan Silver Dollar Brilliant Uncirculated
