The Morgan dollar is one of the most collected silver coins in our history. This George T. Morgan design is awash with Western lore and legend. First struck in 1878, it was created to absorb the fabulous quantity of silver mined from the Comstock Lode. The largest and heaviest silver coin since the Civil War, the Morgan silver dollar contains a hefty 0.77344 ounces of pure silver.  

The head of Lady Liberty takes up most of the obverse of this silver coin. She is encircled by the date of issue, 13 stars, and the words, “E ‘ PLURIBUS ‘ UNUM”. This phrase, which translates to “Out of many, one”, was first chosen for official United States use in 1776.  

The reverse features a bald eagle with wings spread, perched upon a branch and arrows. The eagle is partially surrounded by a wreath. Above his head sits the motto “In God we trust”. Around the rim are the words “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” separated by a star on either side from “ONE DOLLAR”.
