Description
- Morgan Silver Dollars were struck from 1878 to 1921
- Struck at the Carson City Mint of the Wild West in 1880
- Carson City Morgan Silver Dollars were only struck for 13 issues
- The Carson City Mint has the lowest total mintage of Morgan Dollars, even lower than the one-year-only Denver issue
- Absolute Rarity: Minuscule mintage of just 495,000 coins
- Absolute Rarity describes a coin with a low mintage where any grade is difficult to find
- Due to the Pittman Act of 1918, nearly half of all Morgan Dollars were melted down, making Brilliant Uncirculated examples like these difficult to acquire
- Only about 2% of all Morgans have survived in Brilliant Uncirculated condition
