1904 Morgan Silver Dollar Main Image

<p>Although mintage of the 1904 Morgan silver dollar was fairly small by Philadelphia Mint standards, this early 20th century "silver cartwheel" still exists in enough quantity that it is moderately priced for the Morgan series. Struck in 90% fine silver, the 1904 silver dollar is a historical remembrance of the year that Cadillacs and Pierce Arrows joined the selection of early automobiles, and when the first section of the New York subway system was opened.</p><br/>

    <p>The Morgan silver dollar is one of the most famous and highly collected U.S. coins of all time. Known as the "King of America's coins," it was minted in 90% silver from 1878-1904 and 1921. In 2021, the U.S. Mint honored the 100th anniversary of the series' end by striking new Morgan dollars in 99.9% pure silver. The reintroduced classic proved incredibly popular and continues to date, although none were minted in 2022 due to limited supplies of silver. Littleton Coin is proud to offer a large assortment of Uncirculated and Proof Morgan silver dollars for sale. </p>

      <h2>The Birth of the Morgan Silver Dollar</h2>
      <p>To fully understand the <a title="What is a Morgan Silver Dollar?" id="Category-_-Morgan-Dollars-_-What-is-a-Morgan-Silver-Dollar" href="/What-is-a-Morgan-Silver-Dollar">historical significance</a> of Morgan silver dollar coins, we must look back to the era of our nation's great gold and silver rushes – particularly 1859 and the great Comstock Lode...</p>
      <h2>America's Legendary Comstock Lode</h2>
      <p>In 1859, Patrick McLaughlin and Peter O'Riley were prospecting in Six Mile Canyon near Carson City, Nevada. Digging a ditch to collect water, they found rich black soil that yielded a layer of glittering ore. Experienced miners, the two recognized gold and eagerly began washing away the heavy black soil. Their find became known as the Comstock vein, and captured the attention of California gold rush veteran J.F. Stone. Curious about the heavy black soil being thrown aside by the ton, he sent a sample to be assayed in California.</p>
      <p>The soil turned out to be <a target="_blank" title="Learn More About Morgan Dollars" id="Category-_-Morgan-Dollars-_-Blog-morgan-silver-dollars-symbol-of-the-great-american-spirit" href="https://blog.littletoncoin.com/morgan-silver-dollars-symbol-of-the-great-american-spirit/">incredibly rich in silver</a>, yielding $4,700 a ton! Over the next two decades, the Comstock Lode produced more than $300 million in precious metals – and that was in 19th-century dollars, without adjusting for inflation. Today, the Comstock Lode of Nevada is known as the Queen of the Silver Strikes. It yielded incredible amounts of silver, and helped give rise to one of the Old West's most iconic symbols: the Morgan silver dollar.</p>
      <h2>Silver Dollars Returned in 1878 with the Morgan Dollar</h2>
      <p>First-year Morgan dollars have an extra measure of collector interest and historical significance. Five years before the first Morgan silver dollars were struck, the Mint Act of February 1873 had ended production of circulating Liberty Seated silver dollars in favor of <a title="Shop U.S. Gold Coins" id="Category-_-Morgan-Dollars-_-gold-type-coins" href="/gold-type-coins">gold dollars</a> and silver Trade dollars primarily used in foreign trade. Silver dollars made up less than one percent of circulating silver, so most people weren't affected.</p>
      <p>But silver mine owners were outraged. They lobbied and pressured their congressmen. And after five years of heated debate, Congress authorized production of new silver dollars in 1878.</p>
      <h2>George T. Morgan and the Goddess of Liberty</h2>
      <p>The new silver dollar was named for its designer, the English-born assistant engraver at the Philadelphia Mint, George T. Morgan. Morgan searched for an American girl to represent Liberty, and his friend (and renowned landscape painter) Thomas Eakins suggested a fellow art student and schoolteacher, Anna Willess Williams.</p>
      <p>At first, Williams was reluctant to pose for Morgan and insisted on strict secrecy. She sat for Morgan five times, and he later declared she had a nearly perfect profile.</p>
      <h2>Special 100th Anniversary Issues</h2>
      <p>To celebrate the centennial anniversary of the last Morgan silver dollars being struck in 1921 (when they were replaced by <a title="Shop Peace Silver Dollars" id="Category-_-Morgan-Dollars-_-peace-dollars" href="/peace-dollars">Peace dollars</a>), special 100th Anniversary coins were struck in 2021 at the Denver, San Francisco and Philadelphia Mints. Unlike classic 90% silver Morgans, the new Morgan dollars were minted in 99.9% pure silver, with some coins bearing special privy marks for New Orleans ("O") and Carson City ("CC").</p>
      <p>Collector demand for these new silver Morgan dollars proved incredibly strong, but a lack of silver planchets due to the global pandemic prevented the Mint from issuing more the following year. Production resumed in 2023 and continued in 2024.</p>
