| 1879 Framed Morgan Silver Dollar & Railroad Wage Certificate, Very Fine/New Unused |
|
Description: |
Travel back to the days of the mighty silver kings and railroad barons with this handsome 1879 Morgan dollar and railroad wage certificate set! Swinging pickaxes and sledgehammers, railroad workers cleared land for the tracks that connected the nation, while miners dug deep to bring up silver hidden in the Colorado Rockies.
Silver discoveries in 1879 in Leadville Colorado sparked a boom attracting, Horace Tabor (husband of Baby Doe), Doc Holliday and even Jesse James! For hours of back-breaking labor, miners earned $3 a day – perhaps in silver dollars, while many railroad workers received wages in the form of this 7 1/2” x 2 3/4” certificate.
Perfect for the coin collector or train enthusiast this historic set includes the prized second-year 1879 Morgan, in Very Fine condition, and a wage certificate, from the same year, issued by the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad and still in New Unused condition well over a century later. Presented in a FREE wooden frame (retail value $39.50), the set is perfect for home or office display.
