1887-P $1 Railroad Silver Dollar XF w/Railroad Stock Certificate

Workers Built the Railroads for One of these Morgan Silver Dollars per Day!

The “Golden Age” of railroads in the 1880s led to unprecedented growth and prosperity in the United States as trains became the predominant means of moving people and goods. Crisscrossing across the country were miles upon miles of track, tack that laborers spent all day in the hot sun laying track down. Their reward for this back-breaking work: the hefty sum of one silver dollar — perhaps even one of these Morgan Silver Dollars struck in 1887 by the Philadelphia Mint!

Working On The Railroad With A Morgan In One’s Pocket

Morgans were the preferred “hard currency” of the day and these coins are in Extremely Fine (XF) condition, meaning they were in circulation during the railroad years, so who knows? Maybe this coin jingled in the pocket of an Irish immigrant fresh off the boat looking for a way to make it in America. Perhaps that coin later found itself on top of a bar as that same worker whetted his thirst after a hard day’s work.

Bonus Railroad Stock Certificate

With your purchase, you’ll get an authentic paper stock certificate from the Northern Pacific Railroad, one of the biggest railroads of this era, dated 1876-1897 (our choice). It’s estimated that as few as 15% of all Morgans struck, in any condition, still exist. Make sure at least one of those is in your collection.

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 1878-1904 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 – Morgan Silver Dollars were struck in 90% silver from the famous Comstock Lode and measure 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.
• EXTREMELY FINE CONDITION – Your 1887-P Morgan Silver Dollar will come in nice Extremely Fine (XF) 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 Mint State-64 Uncirculated condition!
• RAILROAD STOCK CERTIFICATE – Also included in this offer is a bonus paper stock certificate from the Northern Pacific Railroad, one of the biggest railroads of this era, dated 1876-1897. Date our choice.
