King of American Coins - Step back in history with this stunning 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar, the first year of issue for this iconic series.
Hold the spirit of 1878 in the palm of your hand. This isn't just a coin; it’s a time capsule from the era of outlaws, steam engines, and the vast American frontier. This 1878 Morgan Silver Dollar was among the very first to carry the vision of a new, industrial America into the pockets of pioneers and dreamers.
Designed by English engraver George T. Morgan, this coin broke tradition. Instead of using a Greek goddess as a model, Morgan chose Anna Willess Williams, an American schoolteacher, to represent Liberty.
The Obverse: Look closely at the profile—it captures a distinctly American beauty, crowned with wheat and cotton, symbolizing the fertile promise of a growing nation.
The Reverse: The majestic "Heraldic Eagle" clutches the arrows of war and the olive branch of peace, a powerful symbol of a country finding its strength after the Civil War.
Why This Coin?
- Tactile History: There is a unique emotional connection in touching a heavy silver dollar that is over 140 years old.
