The 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar mintage history

Probably the most extensively purchased U.S. coin is the Morgan Silver dollar. The 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar formed part of the Morgan Silver dollar mintage run. The Morgan Silver dollar was produced between 1878 and 1904 when manufacture was suspended as a consequence of insufficient need for the silver coin. A relatively serious diminution of the U.S silver bullion stock level during this time seemed to have also been a consideration. In 1921 the mintage was recommenced for solely that year wherein the Morgan dollar's production ended when it was supplanted by the Peace Dollar.

Public response to the silver coin

When it was first available the U.S public did not really like it. The coin was called a cartwheel due to the fact it was so big and heavy. It was known as the Bland dollar as a result of the Bland-Allison Act which created it. The coin was also known as the buzzard dollar. A number of people decided that the eagle on the reverse of the silver coin looked like a buzzard: it had a scrawny neck and body and they also thought that it did not appear very majestic. The obverse of the coin depicts Lady Liberty and for that reason the correct name for this coin is the Liberty Head dollar.

The actual Lady Liberty

The model for Lady Liberty was a teenage school teacher called Anna Willess Williams. She posed for the George Morgan in five different sessions and consistently in really strict secrecy. This was simply because she was a school teacher, and so she could possibly be fired if it were known that she were an artist's model. The reason for this secrecy was that proper young women simply were not artists models in 1876. A determined news reporter did a little digging about, found out just who the model for the silver coin was, publicized the information and as Miss Williams anticipated, she did in fact lose her teaching postion.

How the Mogan Dollar came into being

The Morgan Silver Dollar is named after its designer Mr George T Morgan. Mr Morgan had been a pupil of Mr William Wyen of the Royal Mint in London. He was hired by the United States Mint in 1878 to produce a completely new one dollar silver coin (his initial M is on both sides of each and every 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar ) The need for the coin occurred subsequent to the finding of the Comstock Lode in Nevada. Several silver mine owners got together and pressured the U.S Congress to pass the Bland-Allison Act. This ordered that the US Treasury purchase from them between two and four million ounces of silver on a monthly basis. The U.S Treasury wound up getting this immense level of silver monthly and looked for a strategy to utilize it. Its remedy ended up being to commission a new coin. George T Morgan designed it and production was started. The coin was produced in massive numbers throughout its run. The 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar was part of the over 500,000,000 Morgan dollars minted. 1921 saw the maximum minted, about 85 million were produced by three different mints during that time.

King of the Morgans

The King of the Morgans is regarded as the 1895-plain . The 1895-plain had a mintage as stated by the U.S mint of 12,000 commercial strikes - a fairly modest number - plus 880 proofs. Nobody has been capable of finding the 12,000 commercial strikes and of the 880 proof coins an estimated 75 to 80 of these are known to exist. As a result its value is fairly high, hence its name King of the Morgans.

1878 Morgan Silver Dollar leading particulars

The 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar has a diameter of 38.1 mm and weighs in at 26.73 grams uncirculated. It is made up of 90% Silver and 10% Copper. It contains 0.77344 troy ounces of pure silver. The obverse carries the appearance of Anna Willess Williams. The wording E PLURIBUS UNUM is across the top. The bottom of the coin is sort of enclosed by thirteen stars. The date is at the bottom. The reverse incorporates a flying eagle with three arrows in its right talon plus a branch in its left. A wreath encompasses two thirds of the bottom of the eagle. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA spans the top, ONE DOLLAR across the bottom, and In God We Trust is in between the eagle's wings. The coin includes a reeded edge.

Where the Morgan Silver dollar was struck

The 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar was minted at one of the five mints used in the production of the Morgan Dollar. The mint marks on the coins are 'CC' for Carson City, 'S' for San Francisco, 'O' for New Orleans 'D' for Denver and 'P' for Philadelphia. A Morgan free of a mint mark signifies that it was produced in Philadelphia.

Key dates

Apart from the 1895-plain, some other key date Morgans are the 1889 'CC' silver coin with the total of coins minted at 350,000, and also the 1893 'S' with a mintage of just 100,000.

The price tag of a 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar

The cost of a 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar is significantly based on three crucial factors: rarity, silver coin appearance and what the current market price is. As a very rough guide Morgans may possibly vary from $32 to $8,000 or maybe more.

The certifying of a 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar

Make sure that that one of the prime grading providers has graded and enveloped it. The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), Independent Coin Grading Service (ICG), Numismatic Guaranty Company of America (NCG), and ANACS are generally strongly suggested. Have a reliable dealer verify a high quality 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar prior to buying. Only buy from reliable dealers.

A brief history of the life of George T Morgan

George Morgan was employed at the Philadephia Mint for forty-eight years. He eventually became Chief Engraver at the mint in 1917. He married and had three children. Primarily remembered for the Morgan Dollar, he also worked on a number of other silver coins, medals and also postal stamps. He continued working in the Philadelphia Mint up to a short time prior to his passing away in February 1925 at the age of seventy nine.

A brief history of the life of Anna Willess Williams

Anna Willess Williams was a nineteen year old Philadelphia school teacher when she modelled for Morgan. The specific reason for Morgan deciding upon Anna Willess Williams to pose for him was that from the outset he was minded to include the profile of an American woman (as opposed to that of an imaginary one) for his brand new design. Soon after rejecting several different candidates, Morgan more than happy with her profile, announced that it was the most perfect he had personally seen in England or America and then asked her to model for him. Morgan asked her to pose since he was working on engraving a half dollar during that time (the need for the 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar only came later) She became famous and received many letters and personal visits which which she found perturbing. Though she was offered profitable acting jobs, she refused them and stayed in the education profession for the rest of her life. Anna Willess Williams never married (although there were rumors of a fiance at one time) and died in Philadelphia in April 1926 aged sixty eight.

Legally, any type of replica 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar must have the word 'copy' stamped upon it. An actual 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar should really weigh close to 26.73 grams: reproductions are by and large lighter. When ever you rotate a 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar the engraving on the other side of the silver coin has to be precisely the other way up. A replica 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar could possibly be magnetic, a genuine 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar is certainly not.

The Morgan 1895 production background

Just about the most generally acquired U.S. coin could well be the Morgan Silver dollar. The Morgan 1895 was a component of the Morgan Silver dollar mintage run. The Morgan Silver dollar was produced between 1878 and 1904 when production was terminated as a consequence of deficiency of need for the silver coin. A relatively extreme drawdown of the U.S silver bullion supply at this period was also a major consideration. In 1921 production was started again for solely that year during which the Morgan dollar's mintage was stopped when it was supplanted by the Peace Dollar.

Initial public reaction to the coin

When it was first available the U.S public did not particularly take to it. The coin was known as a cartwheel due to the fact it was so big and heavy. It was known as the Bland dollar as a result of the Bland-Allison Act which conceived it. The coin was also known as the buzzard dollar. A lot of people thought that the eagle on the reverse of the coin resembled a buzzard: it had a skinny neck and shape and they also thought that it did not appear actually majestic. The obverse of the coin depicts Lady Liberty and for that very reason the accurate title for this silver coin is the Liberty Head dollar.

The actual Lady Liberty

The model for Lady Liberty was a teenage school teacher by the name of Anna Willess Williams. She sat for the Morgan in five different sessions and consistently in really strict secrecy. This was because she was a school teacher, and she could easily be let go if it were determined that she were an artist's model. The reason for this secrecy was that well brought up young ladies definitely weren't artists models in 1876. A determined news reporter did some searching about, revealed who exactly the model for the coin was, publicized the information and as Miss Williams feared, she did in fact lose her job.

Why exactly the Morgan Silver Dollar came into being

The Morgan is so named because of its designer George T Morgan. George T Morgan had been a pupil of Mr William Wyen of the Royal Mint in London. He was hired by the United States Mint in 1878 to produce a brand-new one dollar silver coin (his initial M is on both sides of each Morgan 1895) The need for the coin came about subsequent to the finding of the Comstock Lode in Nevada. A group of silver mine owners banded together and prevailed upon the U.S Congress to pass the Bland-Allison Act. This ordered that the US Treasury purchase from them between two and four million ounces of silver on a monthly basis. The U.S Treasury finished up getting this massive level of silver once per month and looked for an effective way to make use of it. Its solution ended up being to commission a brand new coin. George T Morgan designed it and production was started. The coin was produced in massive numbers throughout its run. The Morgan 1895 formed part of the over 500,000,000 Morgan dollars produced. 1921 saw by far the most produced, about 85 million were struck by the Philadephia, San Francisco and Denver mints during that time.

King of the Morgans

The King of the Morgan Dollars is known as the 1895-plain . The 1895-plain had a production run according to the U.S mint of 12,000 commercial strikes - quite a small number - and in addition 880 proofs. Nobody has been capable of finding the 12,000 commercial strikes and of the 880 proof coins an estimated 75 to 80 of these are known to exist. Consequently its value is pretty high, thus its name King of the Morgans.

Morgan 1895 physical specifics

The Morgan 1895 has a diameter of 38.1 mm and weighs in at 26.73 grams when not circulated. It comprises 90% Silver and 10% Copper. It contains 0.77344 troy ounces of pure silver. The obverse carries the profile of Anna Willess Williams. The wording E PLURIBUS UNUM is across the top. The foot of the coin is nearly enclosed by thirteen stars. The date is at the base. The reverse includes a flying eagle with three arrows in its right talon along with a branch in its left. A wreath encompasses two thirds of the bottom of the eagle. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA spans the top, ONE DOLLAR along the bottom, and In God We Trust is in between the eagle's wings. The coin contains a reeded edge.

The mints

The Morgan 1895 was minted at one of the five mints used in the production of the Morgan Dollar. The mint marks on the coins are 'CC' for Carson City, 'S' for San Francisco, 'O' for New Orleans 'D' for Denver and 'P' for Philadelphia. A Morgan devoid of a mint mark indicates that it was produced in Philadelphia.

Key dates

Apart from the 1895-plain, additional key date Morgan Dollars are the 1889 'CC' silver dollar with the quantity of coins minted at 350,000, and also the 1893 'S' with a mintage of just 100,000.

The cost of a Morgan 1895

The price of a Morgan 1895 is considerably dependent on three major factors: rarity, coin overall condition and what the market place price is. As a very rough guide Morgans could very well vary from $32 to $8,000 or maybe more.

The grading of a Morgan 1895

Confirm that one of the prime grading providers has graded and enveloped it. The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), Independent Coin Grading Service (ICG), Numismatic Guaranty Company of America (NCG), and ANACS are normally recommended. Have a respectable dealership examine a top quality Morgan 1895 prior to buying. Only buy from respectable dealers.

A brief history of the life of George T Morgan after the Morgan Silver Dollar

George Morgan worked at the Philadephia Mint for forty-eight years. He in the end became Chief Engraver at the mint in 1917. He married and had three children. Generally commemorated for the Morgan Dollar, he also worked on other silver coins, medals and also postal stamps. He carried on working in the Philadelphia Mint until a quite short time just before his passing away in February 1925 at the age of seventy nine.

Anna Willess Williams

Anna Willess Williams was a nineteen year old Philadelphia school teacher when she posed for Morgan. The actual reason for Morgan picking her to pose for him was that from the beginning he was minded to include the profile of an American girl (as opposed to that of an imagined one) for his brand-new design. Soon after rejecting several applicants, Morgan impressed with her profile, said that it was the most perfect he had found in England or America and afterwards asked her to model for him. Morgan asked her to pose since he was working on engraving a half dollar at that time (the requirement for the Morgan 1895 only came later) She became renowned and received many letters and personal visits which which she found perturbing. Even though she was offered lucrative acting jobs, she turned these down and stayed in the teaching profession for the rest of her life. She never married (even though there were rumors of a husband to be at one time) and died in Philadelphia in April 1926 aged sixty eight.

Legally, any type of replica Morgan 1895 will require the word 'copy' stamped upon it. An actual Morgan 1895 ought to weigh close to 26.73 grams: fakes are typically lighter. Any time you rotate a Morgan 1895 the engraving on the opposite side of the coin ought to be exactly the other way up. A fake Morgan 1895 may be magnetic, a real Morgan 1895 is definitely not.

The Morgan S 18711 production background

Probably the most extensively acquired U.S. coin is the Morgan Silver dollar. The Morgan S 18711 was an element of the Morgan Silver dollar production run. The Morgan Silver dollar was produced between 1878 and 1904 when manufacture was suspended as a result of too little need for the coin. A relatively extreme exhaustion of the U.S silver bullion stock level during this time seemed to have also been a contributing factor. In 1921 production was recommenced for just that year during which the Morgan dollar's production came to an end when it was superceded by the Peace Dollar.

Public response to the silver coin

When it was first obtainable the U.S public failed to particularly take to it. The coin was called a cartwheel on the grounds that it was so big and heavy. It was called the Bland dollar as a result of the Bland-Allison Act which conceived it. The coin was also referred to the buzzard dollar. A lot of people decided that the eagle on the reverse of the silver coin was similar to a buzzard: it had a scrawny neck and build and they also thought that it didn't look very regal. The obverse of the coin depicts Lady Liberty and for that reason the right term for this silver coin is the Liberty Head dollar.

The real Lady Liberty

The model for Lady Liberty was a teenaged school teacher named Anna Willess Williams. She modelled for the designer in five different sessions and consistently in very strict secrecy. This was due to the fact she was a school teacher, and as a consequence she could certainly be dismissed if it were determined that she were an artist's model. The cause for this secrecy was that respectable young women just were not artists models in 1876. A determined news reporter did some searching about, found out exactly who the model for the coin was, published the information and as Miss Williams feared, she did in fact lose her job.

The key reason why the Mogan Dollar came into being

The Morgan is named because of its designer Mr George T Morgan. Mr Morgan had early in his career been a pupil of Mr William Wyen of the Royal Mint in London. He was picked by the United States Mint in 1878 to make a completely new one dollar coin (his initial M is on both sides of each Morgan S 18711) The demand for the coin came into being following the discovery of the Comstock Lode in Nevada. A group of silver mine owners met up and prevailed upon the U.S Congress to pass the Bland-Allison Act.

The King of the Morgans is regarded as the 1895-plain . The 1895-plain had a mintage according to the U.S mint of 12,000 commercial strikes - a fairly modest number - and in addition 880 proofs. Nobody has found the 12,000 commercial strikes and of the 880 proof coins approximately 75 to 80 of these are known to exist. As a result its value is pretty high, thus its name King of the Morgans.

Morgan S 18711 details

The Morgan S 18711 has a diameter of 38.1 mm and weighs 26.73 grams when not circulated. It comprises 90% Silver and 10% Copper. It has 0.77344 troy ounces of pure silver. The obverse bears the profile of Anna Willess Williams. The wording E PLURIBUS UNUM is along the top. The bottom of the coin is almost encircled by thirteen stars. The date is at the base. The reverse features a flying eagle with three arrows in its right talon along with a branch in its left. A wreath encompasses two thirds of the bottom of the eagle. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA covers the top, ONE DOLLAR along the bottom, and In God We Trust is between the eagle's wings. The coin has a reeded edge.

Where the Morgan was struck

The Morgan S 18711 was minted at one of the five mints used in the production of the Morgan Silver Dollar. The mint marks on the coins are 'CC' for Carson City, 'S' for San Francisco, 'O' for New Orleans 'D' for Denver and 'P' for Philadelphia. A Morgan not having a mint mark signifies that it was struck in Philadelphia.

Key dates

Apart from the 1895-plain, additional key date Morgan Dollars are the 1889 'CC' dollar with the amount of coins minted at 350,000, and also the 1893 'S' with a production run of just 100,000.

The price of a Morgan S 18711

The price of a Morgan S 18711 is significantly reliant on three important factors: scarcity, coin condition and what the market place price is. As a very rough guideline Morgans could very well range from $32 to $8,000 or maybe more.

George T Morgan in later life

George Morgan worked at the Philadephia Mint for forty-eight years. He in the end became Chief Engraver at the mint in 1917. He married and had three children. Mostly associated with the Morgan Dollar, he also worked on additional coins, medals and also postage stamps. He carried on working in the Philadelphia Mint up to a quite short time before his demise in February 1925 at the age of seventy nine.

A brief history of the life of Anna Willess Williams after the Morgan Silver Dollar

Anna Willess Williams was a nineteen year old Philadelphia school teacher when she modelled for Morgan. The rationale for Morgan selecting her to pose for him was that from the outset he had it in mind to incorporate the likeness of an American woman (as opposed to that of an imagined one) for his fresh design. After rejecting various candidates, Morgan impressed with her profile, stated that it was the most perfect he had seen in England or North America and afterwards asked her to pose for him. Morgan asked her to model simply because he was working on engraving a half dollar at that time (the requirement for the Morgan S 18711 only came after) She became famous and received many letters and personal visits which she found unsettling. Even though she was offered lucrative acting jobs, she refused them and stayed in the education profession for the rest of her life. Anna Willess Williams remained single (even though there were rumors of a husband to be at one time) and passed away in Philadelphia in April 1926 aged sixty eight.

The Morgan 1903 production history

Probably the most generally acquired U.S. coin could well be the Morgan Silver dollar. The Morgan 1903 was an element of the Morgan Silver dollar mintage run. The Morgan Silver dollar was minted between 1878 and 1904 when mintage was suspended as a direct result of lack of demand for the silver coin. A fairly severe exhaustion of the U.S silver bullion stock level at that point seemed to have also been a major factor. In 1921 the mintage was started again for just that year wherein the Morgan dollar's production run was ceased when it was supplanted by the Peace Dollar.

Initial popular response to the Morgan Dollar

When it was first available the U.S public just didn't particularly take to it. The Morgan Dollar was dubbed a cartwheel due to the fact it was so big and heavy. It was referred to the Bland dollar as a result of the Bland-Allison Act which established it. The silver coin was also known as the buzzard dollar. A lot of people thought that the eagle on the reverse of the silver coin looked like a buzzard: it had a skinny neck and shape and they also were of the opinion that it didn't seem actually majestic. The obverse of the coin depicts Lady Liberty and for that logical reason the correct title for this coin is the Liberty Head dollar.

The actual Lady Liberty

The model for Lady Liberty was a teenage school teacher known as Anna Willess Williams. She modelled for the designer in five different sessions and constantly in pretty strict secrecy. This was because she was a school teacher, and because of this she could be terminated if it were established that she were an artist's model. The cause for this secrecy was that proper young ladies definitely were not artists models in 1876. A determined reporter did some rooting about, found out exactly who the model for the silver coin was, published the material and as Miss Williams anticipated, she did in fact lose her teaching job.

The main reason why the Mogan Dollar came to exist

The Morgan Silver Dollar is so named because of its designer George T Morgan. Mr Morgan had been a pupil of Mr William Wyen of the Royal Mint in London. He was picked by the United States Mint in 1878 to make a completely new one dollar silver coin (his initial M is on both sides of each Morgan 1903) The demand for the coin came about soon after the discovery of the Comstock Lode in Nevada. A group of silver mine owners got together and lobbied the U.S Congress to pass the Bland-Allison Act. This dictated that the US Treasury buy from them approximately between two and four million ounces of silver once per month. The U.S Treasury finished up receiving this monumental amount of silver monthly and sought for an effective way to use it. Its solution ended up being to commission a fresh coin. George T Morgan made it and production was started. The coin was produced in massive numbers throughout its run. The Morgan 1903 formed part of the over 500,000,000 Morgan dollars produced. 1921 saw the most produced, about 85 million were struck by the Philadephia, San Francisco and Denver mints at this time.

King of the Morgans

The King of the Morgan Silver Dollars is commonly known as the 1895-plain . The 1895-plain had a mintage as stated by the U.S mint of 12,000 commercial strikes - quite a small amount - plus 880 proofs. Nobody has proved capable of finding the 12,000 commercial strikes and of the 880 proof coins around 75 to 80 of these are known to exist. Because of this its value is pretty high, hence its name King of the Morgans.

Morgan 1903 characteristics

The Morgan 1903 has a diameter of 38.1 mm and weighs in at 26.73 grams uncirculated. It is made up of 90% Silver and 10% Copper. It has 0.77344 troy ounces of pure silver. The obverse bears the likeness of Anna Willess Williams. The wording E PLURIBUS UNUM is across the top. The foot of the coin is sort of enclosed by thirteen stars. The date is at the bottom. The reverse includes a flying eagle with three arrows in its right talon and a branch in its left. A wreath includes two thirds of the bottom of the eagle. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA spans the top, ONE DOLLAR across the bottom, and In God We Trust is in between the eagle's wings. The coin includes a reeded edge.

The mints

The Morgan 1903 was struck at one of the five mints used in the manufacture of the Morgan Dollar. The mint marks on the coins are 'CC' for Carson City, 'S' for San Francisco, 'O' for New Orleans 'D' for Denver and 'P' for Philadelphia. A Morgan not having a mint mark indicates that it was struck in Philadelphia.

Key dates

Apart from the 1895-plain, additional key date Morgans are the 1889 'CC' dollar with the amount of coins struck at 350,000, and also the 1893 'S' with a production run of just 100,000.

The cost of a Morgan 1903

The price tag of a Morgan 1903 is quite a bit centered on three major variables: rarity, coin appearance and what the current market price is. As a really rough guide Morgans can range from $32 to $8,000 or maybe more.

The certifying of a Morgan 1903

Be certain that that one of the prime grading providers has graded and enveloped it. The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), Independent Coin Grading Service (ICG), Numismatic Guaranty Company of America (NCG), and ANACS are generally recommended. Have a respectable dealership check out a prime quality Morgan 1903 prior to buying. Only buy from respectable dealers.

A brief history of the life of George T Morgan

George Morgan was employed at the Philadephia Mint for forty-eight years. He eventually became Chief Engraver at the mint in 1917. He married and had three children. Mostly commemorated for the Morgan Dollar, he also worked on numerous coins, medals and also postal stamps. He continued working in the Philadelphia Mint until a quite short time prior to his passing away in February 1925 at the age of seventy nine.

A brief history of the life of Anna Willess Williams after the Morgan Silver Dollar

Anna Willess Williams was a nineteen year old Philadelphia school teacher when she posed for Morgan. The motive for Morgan picking Anna Willess Williams to model for him was that from the beginning he had it in mind to utilize the likeness of an American girl (as opposed to that of an imaginary one) for his brand-new design. Shortly after rejecting several candidates, Morgan pleased with her profile, announced that it was the most perfect he had personally seen in England or America and so asked her to model for him. Morgan requested her to pose for the reason that he was working on engraving a half dollar at that time (the need for the Morgan 1903 only came after) She became famous and received many letters and personal visits which she found unsettling. Although she was offered profitable acting jobs, she turned these down and stayed in the education profession for the rest of her life. She remained single (despite the fact that there were rumors of a future spouse at one time) and died in Philadelphia in April 1926 aged sixty eight.

Legally, any copy Morgan 1903 requires to have the term 'copy' stamped on it. An actual Morgan 1903 must weigh about 26.73 grams: replicas are usually lighter. Whenever you turn a Morgan 1903 the engraving on the other side of the coin has to be precisely the other way up. A counterfeit Morgan 1903 may very well be magnetic, a genuine Morgan 1903 is definitely not.

The Morgan S 1921 production background

Just about the most extensively collected U.S. coin could well be the Morgan Silver dollar. The Morgan S 1921 was a component of the Morgan Silver dollar production run. The Morgan Silver dollar was struck between 1878 and 1904 when mintage was terminated as a result of lack of demand for the silver coin. A fairly extreme reduction of the U.S silver bullion supply at this period was also a major factor. In 1921 production was started again for solely that year during which the Morgan dollar's production run came to a close when it was replaced by the Peace Dollar.

Initial public response to the Morgan Silver Dollar

When it was first obtainable the U.S public did not really like it. The coin was known as a cartwheel since it was so big and heavy. It was called the Bland dollar as a result of the Bland-Allison Act which launched it. The coin was also referred to the buzzard dollar. A lot of people thought that the eagle on the reverse of the coin resembled a buzzard: it had a skinny neck and body and they also were of the opinion that it didn't appear actually noble. The obverse of the coin depicts Lady Liberty and for that main reason the appropriate label for this silver coin is the Liberty Head dollar.

The actual Lady Liberty

The model for Lady Liberty was a young school teacher known as Anna Willess Williams. She sat for the Morgan in five different sessions and constantly in really strict secrecy. This was primarily because she was a school teacher, and hence she could possibly be terminated if it were perceived that she were an artist's model. The reason for this secrecy was that respectable young ladies simply weren't artists models in 1876. A resourceful news reporter did some digging about, discovered who exactly the model for the coin was, publicized the news and as Miss Williams anticipated, she did in fact lose her teaching job.

Why the Morgan came to exist

The Morgan Silver Dollar is named after its designer Mr George T Morgan. Mr Morgan used to be a pupil of Mr William Wyen of the Royal Mint in London. He was selected by the United States Mint in 1878 to make a new one dollar coin (his initial M is on both sides of every Morgan S 1921) The demand for the coin happened subsequent to the discovery of the Comstock Lode in Nevada. Some silver mine owners got together and pressured the U.S Congress to pass the Bland-Allison Act. This dictated that the US Treasury buy from them approximately two and four million ounces of silver every month. The U.S Treasury found themselves receiving this immense amount of silver every month and searched for a strategy to utilize it. Its response was to commission a new coin. George T Morgan designed it and production was started. The coin was minted in massive numbers throughout its run. The Morgan S 1921 was part of the over 500,000,000 Morgan dollars produced. 1921 saw the maximum produced, about 85 million were produced by three different mints at that time.

King of the Morgans

The King of the Morgans is considered to be the 1895-plain . The 1895-plain had a mintage according to the U.S mint of 12,000 commercial strikes - quite a modest volume - and also 880 proofs. Nobody has been capable of finding the 12,000 commercial strikes and of the 880 proof coins some 75 to 80 of these are known to exist. As a result its value can be quite high, hence its name King of the Morgans.

Morgan S 1921 specifications

The Morgan S 1921 has a diameter of 38.1 mm and weighs in at 26.73 grams uncirculated. It contains 90% Silver and 10% Copper. It contains 0.77344 troy ounces of pure silver. The obverse bears the profile of Anna Willess Williams. The wording E PLURIBUS UNUM is along the top. The foot of the coin is almost encircled by thirteen stars. The date is at the bottom. The reverse has a flying eagle with three arrows in its right talon and a branch in its left. A wreath encompasses two thirds of the bottom part of the eagle. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA spans the top, ONE DOLLAR across the bottom, and In God We Trust is in between the eagle's wings. The coin features a reeded edge.

Where the Morgan was struck

The Morgan S 1921 was struck at one of the five mints used in the production run of the Morgan Silver Dollar. The mint marks on the coins are 'CC' for Carson City, 'S' for San Francisco, 'O' for New Orleans 'D' for Denver and 'P' for Philadelphia. A Morgan not having a mint mark signifies that it was produced in Philadelphia.

Key dates

Apart from the 1895-plain, additional key date Morgan Dollars are the 1889 'CC' dollar with the total amount of coins minted at 350,000, and also the 1893 'S' with a production run of just 100,000.

The price tag of a Morgan S 1921

The cost of a Morgan S 1921 is quite a bit reliant on three crucial variables: scarcity, coin appearance and what the market place selling price is. As a quite rough guide Morgans may likely vary from $32 to $8,000 or maybe more.

The grading of a Morgan S 1921

Be certain that one of the prime grading providers has graded and enveloped it. The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), Independent Coin Grading Service (ICG), Numismatic Guaranty Company of America (NCG), and ANACS are frequently strongly suggested. Have a trustworthy dealer check a high quality Morgan S 1921 prior to buying. Only purchase from respectable dealers.

George T Morgan

George Morgan worked at the Philadephia Mint for forty-eight years. He in the end became Chief Engraver there in 1917. He married and had three children. Mostly associated with the Morgan Dollar, he also worked on several other silver coins, medals and also postage stamps. He carried on working in the Philadelphia Mint up to a quite short time just before his death in February 1925 at the age of seventy nine.

A brief history of the life of Anna Willess Williams after the Morgan Silver Dollar

Anna Willess Williams was a nineteen year old Philadelphia school teacher when she modelled for Morgan. The actual reason for Morgan deciding upon her to model for him was that from the outset he was minded to use the profile of an American girl (in contrast to that of an imagined one) for his brand-new design. Shortly after rejecting several hopefuls, Morgan very happy with her profile, announced that it was the most perfect he had seen in England or America and asked her to pose for him. Morgan asked her to pose for the reason that he was working on engraving a half dollar at that time (the need for the Morgan S 1921 only came later) She became famous and received many letters and personal visits which which she found perturbing. Despite the fact that she was offered lucrative acting jobs, she refused them and remained in the teaching profession for the rest of her life. She never married (though there were rumors of a future spouse at one time) and died in Philadelphia in April 1926 aged sixty eight.

By law, each and every replica Morgan S 1921 must have the word 'copy' stamped upon it. A real Morgan S 1921 ought to weigh roughly 26.73 grams: fakes are commonly lighter. In the event that you turn a Morgan S 1921 the engraving on the other side of the silver coin ought to be precisely the other way up. An imitation Morgan S 1921 may very well be magnetic, a real Morgan S 1921 is certainly not.

The Morgan D 1889 mintage history

Probably the most commonly purchased U.S. coin could well be the Morgan Silver dollar. The Morgan D 1889 was an element of the Morgan Silver dollar production run. The Morgan Silver dollar was struck between 1878 and 1904 when mintage was terminated as a consequence of deficiency of demand for the coin. A fairly extreme drawdown of the U.S silver bullion stock level at this period was also a consideration. In 1921 the mintage was resumed for just that year in the course of which the Morgan dollar's production came to a close when it was replaced by the Peace Dollar.

Initial public reaction to the coin

When it was first available the U.S public failed to particularly like it. The Morgan Dollar was named a cartwheel on the grounds that it was so big and heavy. It was labeled the Bland dollar following the Bland-Allison Act which established it. The silver coin was also described as the buzzard dollar. A lot of people decided that the eagle on the reverse of the coin looked like a buzzard: it had a skinny neck and build and they also were of the opinion that it did not look actually noble. The obverse of the coin depicts Lady Liberty and for that logical reason the appropriate term for this silver coin is the Liberty Head dollar.

The real life Lady Liberty

The model for Lady Liberty was a teenaged school teacher by the name of Anna Willess Williams. She posed for the Morgan in five different sessions and continually in really strict secrecy. This was primarily because she was a school teacher, and because of this she could be let go if it were established that she were an artist's model. The motive for this secrecy was that respectable young women definitely weren't artists models in 1876. A resourceful press reporter did a little rooting around, learned exactly who the model for the silver coin was, publicized the material and as Miss Williams dreaded, she did in fact lose her teaching post.

Why exactly the Mogan Dollar came to exist

The Morgan is so named after its designer George T Morgan. George T Morgan early in his career had been a pupil of Mr William Wyen of the Royal Mint in London. He was chosen by the United States Mint in 1878 to make a new one dollar coin (his initial M is on both sides of each and every Morgan D 1889) The demand for the coin came into being following the discovery of the Comstock Lode in Nevada. Several silver mine owners got together and lobbied the U.S Congress to enact the Bland-Allison Act. This mandated that the US Treasury buy from them approximately between two and four million ounces of silver on a monthly basis. The U.S Treasury found themselves getting this enormous volume of silver once per month and sought for a strategy to utilize it. Its response ended up being to commission a new coin. George T Morgan created it and production was started. The coin was struck in huge numbers throughout its run. The Morgan D 1889 formed part of the over 500,000,000 Morgan dollars produced. 1921 saw the most struck, about 85 million were produced by three different mints at this time.

King of the Morgans

The King of the Morgan Dollars is what has come to be known as the 1895-plain . The 1895-plain had a production run as stated by the U.S mint of 12,000 commercial strikes - quite a modest number - as well as 880 proofs. Nobody has been capable of finding the 12,000 commercial strikes and of the 880 proof coins an estimated 75 to 80 of these are known to exist. As a result its value is quite high, thus its name King of the Morgans.

Morgan D 1889 details

The Morgan D 1889 has a diameter of 38.1 mm and weighs 26.73 grams when not circulated. It contains 90% Silver and 10% Copper. It contains 0.77344 troy ounces of pure silver. The obverse bears the appearance of Anna Willess Williams. The wording E PLURIBUS UNUM is along the top. The bottom of the coin is almost enclosed by thirteen stars. The date is at the base. The reverse has a flying eagle with three arrows in its right talon and a branch in its left. A wreath includes two thirds of the base of the eagle. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA covers the top, ONE DOLLAR along the bottom, and In God We Trust is between the eagle's wings. The coin incorporates a reeded edge.

Where the Morgan was produced

The Morgan D 1889 was struck at one of the five mints used in the production of the Morgan Silver Dollar. The mint marks on the coins are 'CC' for Carson City, 'S' for San Francisco, 'O' for New Orleans 'D' for Denver and 'P' for Philadelphia. A Morgan free of a mint mark denotes that it was minted in Philadelphia.

Key dates

Apart from the 1895-plain, some other key date Morgan Dollars are the 1889 'CC' silver dollar with the quantity of coins minted at 350,000, and also the 1893 'S' with a mintage of just 100,000.

The price tag of a Morgan D 1889

The cost of a Morgan D 1889 is significantly dependent on three major factors: rarity, silver coin condition and what the market selling price is. As a very rough guideline Morgans could very well vary from $32 to $8,000 or maybe more.

The certifying of a Morgan D 1889

You should make sure that one of the prime grading providers has graded and enveloped it. The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), Independent Coin Grading Service (ICG), Numismatic Guaranty Company of America (NCG), and ANACS are normally recommended. Have a respectable dealership examine a top rated quality Morgan D 1889 prior to buying. Only purchase from reliable dealers.

A brief history of the life of George T Morgan

George Morgan was employed at the Philadephia Mint for forty-eight years. He in due course became Chief Engraver at the mint in 1917. He married and had three children. Predominantly associated with the Morgan Dollar, he also worked on a number of other coins, medals and also postage stamps. He continued working in the Philadelphia Mint up to a quite short time just before his passing away in February 1925 at the age of seventy nine.

A brief history of the life of Anna Willess Williams

Anna Willess Williams was a nineteen year old Philadelphia school teacher when she posed for Morgan. The actual reason for Morgan picking her to pose for him was that from the outset he was minded to use the likeness of an American woman (in contrast to that of an imagined one) for his brand new design. Shortly after rejecting several candidates, Morgan pleased with her profile, declared that it was the most perfect he had found in England or North America and so prevailed upon her to model for him. Morgan asked her to model mainly because he was working on engraving a half dollar during that time (the requirement for the Morgan D 1889 only came later) She became famous and received many letters and personal visits which she found unsettling. Although she was offered lucrative acting jobs, she refused them and remained in the education profession for the rest of her life. She remained single (although there were rumors of a fiance at one time) and died in Philadelphia in April 1926 aged sixty eight.

By law, each and every reproduction Morgan D 1889 has to have the word 'copy' stamped on it. An authentic Morgan D 1889 should weigh approximately 26.73 grams: imitations are usually lighter. Any time you rotate a Morgan D 1889 the engraving on the other side of the coin has to be exactly the other way up. A replica Morgan D 1889 could possibly be magnetic, an actual Morgan D 1889 is definitely not.
