1889-P Morgan Silver Dollar PCGS MS65

Key-Date Morgans From The Philadelphia Mint

The Philadelphia Mint is the first official United States Mint, established in 1792. For this reason, it’s gained the nickname of the “Mother Mint.” Meanwhile, the Morgan Silver Dollar is one of the most collected vintage silver coins in the world. Struck in massive quantities from 1878 to 1921, mass meltings and the ravages of time have resulted in as few as an estimated 15% of all Morgans still remaining in any condition.

“Gilded Age” Morgans From The Mother Mint!

We have a fine selection of high-grade Morgan Silver Dollars—in this case a key-date 1889 Morgan Silver Dollar struck at the Philadelphia Mint during the heyday of America’s “Gilded Age.” Struck from silver mined from Nevada’s famous Comstock Lode, these coins were the workhorses during the final days of America’s Wild West. It was a time when North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Washington became the 39th, 40th, 41st and 42nd states, the Oklahoma Land Rush gave birth to the nickname “Sooners,” and The Wall Street Journal was published for the first time. It was also the same year that Congress authorized the use of voting machines, President William McKinley became the first American president to ride in an automobile, and James J. Jeffries knocked out Bob Fitzsimmons in the world heavyweight boxing championship held at Coney Island.
