Description

The Morgan Silver Dollar, minted from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, is one of America’s most iconic coins, beloved by collectors and investors alike. Designed by engraver George T. Morgan, the coin features a striking profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse and a majestic eagle with outstretched wings on the reverse. Its composition is 90% silver and 10% copper, giving it a significant intrinsic value. With a hefty 26.73 grams and a diameter of 38.1 millimeters, the Morgan Silver Dollar has a solid, substantial feel, embodying the craftsmanship of its time and the strength of a growing nation.

These coins hold not only monetary worth but also historical value, as each Morgan Dollar reflects a piece of the late 19th and early 20th-century American experience. Minted across various U.S. mints, including Philadelphia, New Orleans, Carson City, and San Francisco, the Morgan Dollar offers rich variety in terms of rarity, mint marks, and condition, making it ideal for both novice and advanced collectors. Whether you’re looking for an investment in silver or a piece of American heritage, the Morgan Silver Dollar stands out as a timeless asset and a treasured addition to any collection.

Coins encapsulated in the legendary PCGS Rattler holder hold a unique allure for numismatists and investors alike. As the first generation of Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) holders introduced in 1986, the Rattler represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of third-party coin grading. Known for its compact design and the distinctive sound of the coin “rattling” slightly within its case, the Rattler is a symbol of early PCGS innovation and reliability. Collectors value coins in these holders not only for their contents but also for the historical significance of the holder itself, making them a sought-after addition to any serious collection. Owning a coin in a Rattler encapsulation combines the appeal of vintage numismatic history with the assurance of professional grading standards.
