1887 NCG MS-63 Morgan Silver Dollar Coin
Morgan Silver Dollars were the US’ official circulating dollar coin from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921. The coins featured George T. Morgan’s design and were named after their designer. In 2021, a commemorative edition of Morgan Dollars celebrated the centennial of its last official coinage.
The US Mint crafted Morgan Dollars through various branches, including Philadelphia, New Orleans, Denver, San Francisco, and Carson City, until 1893, when coinage operations in this last facility ceased.
Those that do not bear mint marks, like these Morgan Dollars, are identified as minted in the Philadelphia branch.
