1900-O Morgan Silver Dollar NGC MS65

High-Quality 1900 New Orleans Morgan Dollars That Escaped Pittman’s Melting Pots

First struck in 1878, the Morgan Silver Dollar was one of the workhorse coins of the American Wild West. Struck in 90% 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 today in any condition.

Beautiful Morgan Dollars From The Big Easy

And of all the Morgans ever struck, some of the most unique are those struck at the fabled New Orleans Mint, the only U.S. branch mint to be controlled by three different governmental bodies—the State of Louisiana, the Confederate States of America, and the United States of America. The New Orleans Mint was the leader in production of Morgan Silver Dollars from 1900 to 1902, but these Morgans are also among the last Morgans struck before production ceased. It is estimated that more than a quarter billion Morgans were melted under the Pittman Act of 1918—and lost to collectors today. In fact, coin experts estimate that as few as 15% of all Morgans minted still exist in any condition! And now you secure this dazzling vintage 1900-O Morgan Silver Dollar struck at the New Orleans Mint.
