2024-S PCGS PR-70 UC First Day of Issue Morgan Dollar Proof Silver Coin - FDI Label
The Morgan Dollar is highly valued for its iconic design, silver content, and rich historical significance. Originally minted in the U.S. from 1878 to 1904 and once more in 1921, it served as the official dollar coin in general circulation.
George T. Morgan designed Morgan Dollars featuring Lady Liberty on the obverse and an eagle on the reverse, symbolizing American growth during the late 1800s.
In 2021, to celebrate 100 years since its last minting, the US Mint prepared a commemorative strike, which, due to its overwhelming popularity, led to ongoing production. Coins from the San Francisco Mint display the “S” mint mark.
SD Bullion offers 2024-S Morgan Silver Dollars, purchased from the US Mint on day #1 of their official release. They are graded as PR-70 UC coins and sealed in PCGS slabs with its First Day of Issue Dollar Label.

A PCGS PR-70 UC First Day of Issue coin
PCGS—Professional Coin Grading Service appraises and grades coins independently from sovereign mints. It uses the Sheldon Scale, which ranges from 1 to 70.
According to PCGS, a “First Day of Issue” coin is a sample purchased on the first day they were made publicly available.
The initials PR stand for Proof Coin, indicating a coin produced for collection purposes. It exhibits mirror-like surfaces in contrast with frosted design elements.
The expression “UC,” “UCAM,” or Ultra Cameo means this contrast is deeper and more intense than in other proof coins. Grade 70 is attributed to flawless coins.
