The United States 1 Dollar "Morgan Dollar" is one of the most iconic silver coins in American numismatic history, struck between 1878 and 1921. Named after its designer George T. Morgan, this coin was minted following the Coinage Act of 1873 and became a symbol of America's silver mining boom in the late 19th century.
