NGC US Coin Census for Morgan Dollars (1878-1921)

Owner Comments:

Production of silver dollars was front and center in 1879 with more than 25 million coins struck, including nearly 15 million at Philadelphia. Examples are plentiful in all grades up to Gem MS65, but Superb examples are seldom seen. Like many dates in the Morgan dollar series, large quantities of this issue have survived due to long-term Treasury storage, although most were released in the 1950s, prior to the massive distribution of silver dollars in the early 1960s.
