Product Features:
Morgan silver dollar - one of the most collected of America's classic coins
A favorite silver coin of the "Wild West" because of its large size and massive amount of pure silver
Minted from 1878-1904 and again in 1921
The largest U.S. silver coin ever made for circulation at almost 1-1/2 inches in diameter with over 3/4 ounce of pure silver
Due to the massive amounts of silver in each coin, more than 50% of all Morgan silver dollars were melted by the U.S. Government in the 1920s to help pay for World War I
Millions were destroyed or worn out in circulation between 1878 and the 1920s, and just a fraction of all coins remain today
Named after its designer George T. Morgan, an engraver with the United States Mint
Obverse portrays Lady Liberty wearing a slave's cap (an ancient symbol of freedom) with the word "Liberty" inscribed on a ribbon
Reverse features an American eagle holding both the olive branch of peace and arrows of war
The mint mark appears above "DO" in dollar on the reverse
