Why are Morgan Dollars so significant in American history?

The Morgan Dollar, designed by George T. Morgan, was the first Liberty Dollar released after the passing of the Coinage Act of 1873. It symbolized a pivotal era in American numismatics and the ending of the previous Morgan Dollar design of the Seated Liberty. This marked the growth of the already established US Mint and American coinage history. The coin was struck from 1878 to 1904, struck for one year in 1921, and revived in 2021 as a collectible.

Its rich history, elegant motif, and symbolic meaning make the Morgan Silver Dollar a coveted numismatic addition.
