Morgan Dollar

This is another key date coin that was cherry-picked at the Biloxi Coin Shop

Norman travels to all the major shows and hand picks only the best coins for the price.
This nice old Morgan dollar was one of about 20 he picked up at the MNA state show in Southaven MS.
Nice original coins like this are tough to find at a reasonable price.
*As always, this coin has a 14 day money back guarantee.

From the 2013 Redbook:

MORGAN DOLLARS
(1878-1921)
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, Carson City, San Francisco, New Orleans, Denver

The coinage law of 1873 made no provision for the standard silver dollar. During the
lapse in coinage of this denomination, the gold dollar became the unit coin, and the
Trade dollar was used for commercial transactions with the Orient.
Resumption of coinage of the silver dollar was authorized by the Act of February
28, 1878, known as the Bland-Allison act. The weight (412-1/2 grains) and
fineness (.900) were to conform with the act of January 18, 1837.
George T. Morgan, formerly a pupil of William Wyon in the Royal Mint in London,
designed the new dollar. His initial M is found at the truncation of the neck, at the last
tress. It also appears on the reverse on the left-hand loop of the ribbon.
Coinage of the silver dollar was suspended after 1904, when demand was low and
the bullion supply became exhausted. Under provisions of the Pittman Act of 1918,
270,232,722 silver dollars were melted, and later, in 1921, coinage of the silver dollar
was resumed. The Morgan design, with some slight refinements, was employed
until the new Peace design was adopted later in that year.
Sharply struck, prooflike Morgan dollars have highly reflective surfaces are
very scarce, usually commanding substantial premiums.
