Pre‑1921 Morgan Silver Dollar AU+ Silver Coin | United States Mint

The Pre‑1921 Morgan Silver Dollar is one of the most iconic and widely collected coins in American history. Struck by the United States Mint from 1878 through 1904, these classic silver dollars contain 90% silver with an actual silver weight of 0.7734 troy ounces. Offered here in AU+ (About Uncirculated Plus) condition, each coin displays only light high‑point wear, retaining strong mint luster and sharp design details. AU+ examples are highly desirable because they offer near‑uncirculated eye appeal at a more accessible price than fully uncirculated coins.

These coins circulated during the Gilded Age, the Old West era, and the early industrial expansion of the United States, giving them both historical and numismatic significance.
