The Start of a Complete Collection
There's no doubt about it. Morgan Silver Dollars are among the most sought-after American coins - and the first year Morgans are especially sought by collectors to complete their collection. Due to mass melting and the wear and tear of circulation, it is estimated that as low as 15% remain for avid collectors. Even fewer still are in collection-worthy condition.
