Originally minted in 1878, the Morgan Silver Dollar holds a special place in American numismatic history. Created in response to the Bland-Allison Act, which required the U.S. Treasury to purchase large amounts of silver for coinage, the coin was named after its designer, George T. Morgan. Featuring Lady Liberty on the obverse and a majestic eagle clutching arrows and an olive branch on the reverse, its bold, patriotic design remains iconic.
