1880-P Morgan Silver Dollar PCGS MS64

Early-Date 1880 Philadelphia Morgan Silver Dollars

First struck in 1878, the Morgan Silver Dollar was one of the workhorse coins of the American Wild West. Struck in highly pure 90% fine silver, they’re believed to be the most widely collected and coveted silver dollar in U.S. history—perhaps in part because their numbers were dramatically slashed by the Pittman Act of 1918, which called for millions of Morgans to be melted. It’s believed that as few as 15% of all Morgans still exist in ANY condition, but now you can this 1880-P Morgan Silver Dollar struck at the Philadelphia Mint. It’s a great way to add key early-date Morgan Silver Dollar from the “Mother Mint” to your collection. Plus, it will come graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as being in Choice Uncirculated Mint State-64 (MS64) condition. Our supplies are limited, so act now!

COIN HIGHLIGHTS:

• AMERICA’S MOST POPULAR COIN – The Morgan Silver Dollar—so named for its designer, U.S. Mint Assistant Engraver George T. Morgan—has stood the test of time. Struck from 1878 to 1904 and again in 1921, it was the coin of America’s “Wild West” and jingled in the coin purses of gamblers, gunfighters, soldiers, and dance hall girls.
• CLASSIC DESIGNS – Morgan’s historic design depicts a profile of Lady Liberty on the obverse while the reverse features an eagle with outstretched wings. The model used for Liberty was Miss Anna Williams of Philadelphia, who Morgan declared to have the most perfect feminine profile he had ever seen.
• STRUCK IN GLEAMING AMERICAN SILVER – Struck in 26.73 grams of highly pure 90% fine silver from the famous Comstock Lode, the Morgan Silver Dollar is a big coin measuring 38.1 mm in diameter.
• LEGAL TENDER SILVER DOLLAR – Morgans were $1 legal tender and struck during the heyday of America’s Wild West era where coins were overwhelmingly preferred over paper currency.
• CHOICE UNCIRULATED CONDITION – Your 1880-P Morgan Silver Dollar has been graded by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) in Choice Uncirculated Mint State-64 (MS64) condition.
• THE CASE OF THE DISAPPEARING MORGANS – While millions of Morgan Silver Dollars were struck from 1878 through 1921, massive silver meltings and the ravages of time have taken their toll. Today coin experts believe that only 15% of all Morgans ever struck remain in existence—and fewer still remain in Uncirculated condition!
