2024 Silver Morgan Dollar MS-70 PCGS (FDI, Black Label)

Product Details

Experience the revival of an American legend with the 2024 Silver Morgan Dollar. PCGS graded a perfect MS-70 with the prestigious First Day of Issue (FDI) and Black Label description.

The Morgan Dollar stands as an enduring symbol of America's Gilded Age and its rich numismatic heritage. First struck in 1878 following the Bland-Allison Act, this iconic silver dollar was the brainchild of the brilliant English engraver George T. Morgan. His design brought a fresh, distinctly American interpretation to Lady Liberty, setting a new standard for U.S. coinage. The 2024 re-issue faithfully resurrects this beloved classic, allowing a new generation of collectors to own a piece of that legacy, perfectly struck and impeccably preserved.

This particular 2024 Silver Morgan Dollar showcases the meticulous detail of Morgan's artistry. On the obverse, Lady Liberty gazes left, her Phrygian cap adorned with a wreath of cotton and wheat, encircled by thirteen stars and the motto 'E PLURIBUS UNUM' above the mint year. The Reverse presents a majestic bald eagle with outstretched wings, clutching an olive branch and arrows, flanked by the inscriptions 'UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,' 'IN GOD WE TRUST,' and 'ONE DOLLAR.' Struck by the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia (so without a mint mark), this modern iteration is composed of .999 fine silver with a metal content of 0.858 troy ounces, a diameter of 38.1 mm, and a thickness of approximately 3.1 mm. What truly sets this coin apart is its perfect MS-70 grade from PCGS, accompanied by the coveted First Day of Issue (FDI) and Black Label designations, signifying a flawless strike from the earliest moments of its release.

The re-introduction of the Morgan Dollar series, beginning in 2021, commemorates the 100th anniversary of its final original mintage in 1921. For 2024, the Uncirculated Philadelphia Mint version, like this one, has a limited mintage of 275,000 pieces, making this perfectly graded example a truly special acquisition. This coin is for the discerning collector who not only appreciates the profound historical narrative of American coinage but also demands the pinnacle of modern minting quality and third-party certification. It represents a rare opportunity to possess an icon reborn, graded at the highest possible standard, bridging the past and present in a tangible, lustrous form.
