The Morgan Silver Dollar Connection

Now, if you’re familiar with the Morgan Silver Dollar, you know it’s one of the most beloved silver coins in U.S. history. Named for George T. Morgan, this coin was minted from 1878 to 1904, and then again in 1921. It features that famous profile of Liberty wearin’ a Phrygian cap, just like on this medal.

Morgan Dollars came from several mints: Carson City (CC), San Francisco (S), Denver (D), and Philadelphia, which didn’t carry a mint mark.
