The Morgan Silver Dollar debuted in 1878 as the United States Mint’s first silver dollar design in five years, replacing the Seated Liberty Dollar series. Designed by Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan, this silver dollar became one of the most iconic coins in U.S. history. Produced annually from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, the Morgan Dollar remains a favorite among collectors. Right now, 1885-O Morgan Silver Dollar Coins are available in perfect condition at BullionMax.
