1885 PCGS MS-64 Morgan Dollar Silver Coin

1885 PCGS MS-64 Morgan Dollar Silver Coin

Morgan Silver Dollars is a centennial piece from the American history of coinage.

The US Mint first released Morgan Dollars between 1878 and 1904, in 1921, to be the US’ official dollar coin. The centenary of its last issuance was celebrated in 2021 through a commemorative strike.

The US Mint's Chief Engraver, George T. Morgan, was responsible for the design stamped on these silver coins, which embodied their time's economic optimism and industrial growth.

Morgan Dollars were produced through several official branches over the years. Those issued in the New Orleans Mint carry the “O” mint mark.
